Aircraft Motion Sensitivity to Cross and Cross-coupling Damping Derivatives


Book Description

An investigation was conducted to provide some insight into the importance of dynamic cross and cross-coupling derivatives in motion simulation studies of fighter aircraft in the maneuvering flight regime. The aircraft motion sensitivity to the various derivatives is ascertained in level and turning flight utilizing a 5 deg of freedom linearized stability program. The results are presented in a root locus format.

Missile Motion Sensitivity to Dynamic Stability Derivatives


Book Description

A dynamic derivative sensitivity study was conducted to demonstrate the importance of dynamic derivatives in missile motion simulation studies. Generalized bank-to-turn and yaw-to-turn missile configurations were used with a six-degree-of-freedom linearized stability program. The effects of various dynamic derivatives on missile stability were investigated in both level and turning flight for several Mach numbers and altitude conditions.

Equations for Store Separation Motion Simulations and Instrumented Model Data Reduction


Book Description

The mathematical equations of motion for ground simulation of the separation trajectories of stores from aircraft are developed in this document. The equations have application to both analytical and wind tunnel captive trajectory store separation testing. The equations of motion as presented here include features not previously available in AEDC analytical and wind tunnel simulations such as arbitrary aircraft maneuvers, more rigorous models of the specific pivot hardware used by some aircraft, and downrail motions with all components of kinematic acceleration (including Corlolis effects) modeled. The data reduction equations for free-falling instrumented store models are also included.
