    Handling Qualities-Fighter Aircraft

    By S C Gupta

    Abstract: Aircraft handling qualities quantify the extent to which the pilot can control the aircraft and accomplish the task with ease or difficulty. Stick force gradient, recovery rates from maneuvers, layout of controls, case of control operations, and mission accomplishment form the part of hqs. Current equivalent systems of flight control of fly-by-wire aircraftwith statically unstable airframe aim at meeting maneuver demands and provide required hqs. The hqs criteria are addressed …

    Aircraft Design and Development: An Overview

    By S C Gupta

    Abstract: This paper addresses issues related to airworthiness standards, air loads criticality, handling qualities requirements, and flight testing from the personal experiences of the author. Current control technology has significant impact on airworthiness specification description. Combination of air loads cases needs judicial selection along with control criteria. Control software can be synthesized in real time for required handling criteria. Concurrent aeroelasticity needs consideration for optimum aerodynamic design features that is highlighted …

    Air Loads Criticality

    By M S Deepa, Janardhana K, S C Gupta

    Abstract: Definition of structural design air loads and the validation through flight clearance are brought out for the robust structural design. Impact of electronic flight control system degradation on structural design loads is highlighted. The control law development during prototype phase effect the design load definition. Ultimate load factor reduction and fatigue life criteria are highlighted. Static and dynamic load assessments are covered. Some issues on load alleviation are addressed. The …
