    Earth Observations and the Role of UAVs: A Capabilities Assessment (2006)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-06
    Description: This document provides an assessment of the civil UAV missions and technologies and is intended to parallel the Office of the Secretary of Defense UAV Roadmap. The intent of this document is four-fold: 1. Determine and document desired future missions of Earth observation UAVs based on user-defined needs 2. Determine and document the technologies necessary to support those missions 3. Discuss the present state of the platform capabilities and required technologies, identifying those in progress, those planned, and those for which no current plans exist 4. Provide the foundations for development of a comprehensive civil UAV roadmap to complement the Department of Defense (DoD) effort (http://www.acq.osd.mil/uas/). Two aspects of the President's Management Agenda (refer to the document located at: www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2002/mgmt.pdf ) are supported by this undertaking. First, it is one that will engage multiple Agencies in the effort as stakeholders and benefactors of the systems. In that sense, the market will be driven by the user requirements and applications. The second aspect is one of supporting economic development in the commercial sector. Market forecasts for the civil use of UAVs have indicated an infant market stage at present with a sustained forecasted growth. There is some difficulty in quantifying the value of the market since the typical estimate excludes system components other than the aerial platforms. Section 2.4 addresses the civil UAV market forecast and lists several independent forecasts. One conclusion that can be drawn from these forecasts is that all show a sustained growth for the duration of each long-term forecast.

    Static Wind-Tunnel and Radio-Controlled Flight Test Investigation of a Remotely Piloted Vehicle Having a Delta Wing Planform (1990)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: At the request of the United States Marine Corps, an exploratory wind-tunnel and flight test investigation was conducted by the Flight Dynamics Branch at the NASA Langley Research Center to improve the stability, controllability, and general flight characteristics of the Marine Corps Exdrone RPV (Remotely Piloted Vehicle) configuration. Static wind tunnel tests were conducted in the Langley 12 foot Low Speed Wind Tunnel to identify and improve the stability and control characteristics of the vehicle. The wind tunnel test resulted in several configuration modifications which included increased elevator size, increased vertical tail size and tail moment arm, increased rudder size and aileron size, the addition of vertical wing tip fins, and the addition of leading-edge droops on the outboard wing panel to improve stall departure resistance. Flight tests of the modified configuration were conducted at the NASA Plum Tree Test Site to provide a qualitative evaluation of the flight characteristics of the modified configuration.

    Dynamic model testing of the X-31 configuration for high-angle-of-attack flight dynamics research (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: High-angle-of-attack flight dynamics of the X-31 configuration were studied using dynamic model test techniques. These tests identified phenomena including wing rock, spins, and departures that could dominate the high-alpha behavior of the configuration and restrict its usable flight envelope. Results of these tests have been used to design flight control concepts and configuration modifications to minimize adverse effects of these phenomena. The conclusion of the high-alpha envelope expansion flight tests of the X-31 aircraft will complete the database against which the dynamic model results can be correlated.

    Use of the updated NASA Langley radio-controlled drop-model technique for high-alpha studies of the X-29A configuration (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: This paper presents an overview of the radio-controlled drop-model technique used for low-speed flight dynamics research at the NASA Langley Research Center. The overall test methodology is reviewed and the major elements of the system are discussed including model construction and equipment, the closed-loop control system, and the flight test facility. To illustrate the capabilities of the technique, selected results from an ongoing program to study the high-angle-of-attack flight dynamics of the X-29A configuration are reviewed. Three research areas are highlighted: motion prediction, control system effects, and motion analysis and modeling. Finally, several current upgrades to the overall technique are discussed along with the enhanced test capability that they will provide.

    High-alpha flight dynamics research on the X-29 configuration using dynamic model test techniques (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: High-angle-of-attack flight dynamics of the X-29 configuration were studied using dynamic model test techniques. These tests identified phenomena including wing rock, spins, and tumbling which dominate the high-alpha behavior of the configuration and define its usable flight envelope. Results of these tests have been used to design flight control concepts to minimize adverse behavior. Planned high-angle-of-attack flight tests of the X-29 airplane will provide an opportunity to validate the model predictions.

    Control Room Training for the Hyper-X Program Utilizing Aircraft Simulation (2006)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: The NASA Dryden Flight Research Center flew two Hyper-X Research Vehicles and achieved hypersonic speeds over the Pacific Ocean in March and November 2004. To train the flight and mission control room crew, the NASA Dryden simulation capability was utilized to generate telemetry and radar data, which was used in nominal and emergency mission scenarios. During these control room training sessions, personnel were able to evaluate and refine data displays, flight cards, mission parameter allowable limits, and emergency procedure checklists. Practice in the mission control room ensured that all primary and backup Hyper-X staff were familiar with the nominal mission and knew how to respond to anomalous conditions quickly and successfully. This paper describes the technology in the simulation environment and the mission control center, the need for and benefit of control room training, and the rationale and results of specific scenarios unique to the Hyper-X research missions.
