    Transonic aerodynamic and aeroelastic characteristics of a variable sweep wing (1985)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-02
    Description: The flow over the B-1 wing is studied computationally, including the aeroelastic response of the wing. Computed results are compared with results from wind tunnel and flight tests for both low-sweep and high-sweep cases, at 25.0 and 67.5 deg., respectively, for selected transonic Mach numbers. The aerodynamic and aeroelastic computations are made by using the transonic unsteady code ATRAN3S. Steady aerodynamic computations compare well with wind tunnel results for the 25.0 deg sweep case and also for small angles of attack at the 67.5 deg sweep case. The aeroelastic response results show that the wing is stable at the low sweep angle for the calculation at the Mach number at which there is a shock wave. In the higher sweep case, for the higher angle of attack at which oscillations were observed in the flight and wind tunnel tests, the calculations do not show any shock waves. Their absence lends support to the hypothesis that the observed oscillations are due to the presence of leading edge separation vortices and are not due to shock wave motion as was previously proposed.

    Simulator evaluation of the effects of reduced spoiler and thrust authority on a decoupled longitudinal control system during landings in wind shear (1981)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The effect of reduced control authority, both in symmetric spoiler travel and thrust level, on the effectiveness of a decoupled longitudinal control system was examined during the approach and landing of the NASA terminal configured vehicle (TCV) aft flight deck simulator in the presence of wind shear. The evaluation was conducted in a fixed-base simulator that represented the TCV aft cockpit. There were no statistically significant effects of reduced spoiler and thrust authority on pilot performance during approach and landing. Increased wind severity degraded approach and landing performance by an amount that was often significant. However, every attempted landing was completed safely regardless of the wind severity. There were statistically significant differences in performance between subjects, but the differences were generally restricted to the control wheel and control-column activity during the approach.

    Fixed-base simulation study of decoupled controls during approach and landing of a STOL transport airplane (1974)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A fixed-base visual simulation study has been conducted to evaluate the use of decoupled controls as a means for reducing pilot workload during approach and landing of an externally blown jet-flap short take-off and landing (STOL) transport. All six rigid-body degrees of freedom were employed with the aerodynamic characteristics based on wind-tunnel data. The primary piloting task was to use a flight director to capture and maintain a two-segment glide slope, with a closed-circuit television display of a STOL airport used during simulations of the flare and landing. The decoupled longitudinal controls used constant prefilter and feedback gains to provide steady-state decoupling of flight-path angle, pitch angle, and forward velocity. The pilots were enthusiastic about the decoupled longitudinal controls but believed the decoupled concept offered no significant advantage over conventional controls in the lateral mode.

    Comparative performance tests on the Mod-2, 2.5-mW wind turbine with and without vortex generators (1995)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A test program was conducted on the third Mod-2 unit at Goldendale, Washington, to systematically study the effect of vortex generators (VG's) on power performance. The subject unit was first tested without VG's to obtain baseline data. Vortex generators were then installed on the mid-blade assemblies, and the resulting 70% VG configuration was tested. Finally, vortex generators were mounted on the tip assemblies, and data was recorded for the 100% VG configuration. This test program and its results are discussed in this paper. The development of vortex generators is also presented.

    An analytical technique for the analysis of airplane spin entry and recovery (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The dynamic equations of motion for a spinning airplane are simplified to facilitate the analysis of spin entry and recovery maneuvers. Solutions of a nonlinear, first order equation for spin rate enable calculation of spin entry and recovery times and control required for recovery. The analysis is applied to a light airplane for which both aerodynamic data, rotory balance wind tunnel tests, and spin flight test data have been obtained. A comparison of predicted and actual transient spin responses is made which supports the validity of the analytical approach taken but which also illustrates the difficulty in obtaining accurate aerodynamic data for spinning airplanes. Certain normalized parameters of the reduced state spin equation suggest criteria for assessing the transient spin characteristics of light airplanes.

    A decoupled control system for improved flight performance in wind shear (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A fixed-base simulation study has been made to compare the approach and landing performance of a decoupled longitudinal control system and the velocity-vector control-wheel steering (VCWS) system that currently exists on the NASA Terminal Configured Vehicle (TCV). The decoupled control system employed constant prefilter and feedback gains to provide steady-state decoupling of flight-path angle, pitch angle, and forward velocity using symmetric spoilers, throttle, and elevator as active control elements. In severe wind shear, of the Kennedy-type, the decoupled control system improved both approach performance and touchdown performance even when the spoiler deflection was limited to 16 deg. On a 10-point rating scale, three research pilots rated the approach and landing task with decoupled controls as much as 3 to 4 increments better than the use of the VCWS system in severe winds

    Study of an aircraft decoupled longitudinal control system for approach and landing (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A series of ground-based and in-flight simulation studies of the application of steady-state decoupled longitudinal controls to a short take-off and landing (STOL) transport have been made. The externally blown flap STOL was selected for study because it was considered to be a worst-case situation from the control viewpoint. The decoupled longitudinal control system used constant prefilter and feedback gains to provide independent control of flight-path angle, pitch angle, and forward velocity during landing approach. The decoupled controls were compared to a more conventional stability augmentation system. The pilots were enthusiastic about the decoupled controls; the pilot workload was reduced and the landing performance significantly improved. The benefit of the decoupled controls was more dramatic during in-flight simulation using a variable stability airplane than was the case with either fixed- or moving-base, ground-based simulators.
