    Flying quality analysis and flight evaluation of a highly augmented combat rotorcraft (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: This paper discusses implications of digital flight control system design for rotorcraft and illustrates the analysis of the resulting handling qualities obtained with the Advanced Digital Optical Control System demonstrator in the context of the proposed new handling-qualities specification for rotorcraft. Topics covered are digital flight control design and analysis methods, flight testing techniques, handling-qualities evaluation results, and correlation of flight test results with analytical models and the proposed handling-qualities specification. The evaluation of the demonstrator system indicates desirable response characteristics based on equivalent damping and frequency, but undersirably large effective time delays (exceeding 240 ms in all axes). Piloted handling qualities are found to be desirable or adequate for all low, medium, and high pilot gain tasks, but handling qualities are inadequate for ultrahigh gain tasks such as slope and running landings. Correlation of these results with the proposed handling-qualities specification indicates good agreement for the bandwidth boundaries, but suggests the need for more stringent limits on allowable phase delay. Analytical models based on emulation (s-plane) techniques compare favorably with flight-extracted frequency-domain characteristics of the overall (end-to-end) system responses.

    Applications of flight control system methods to an advanced combat rotorcraft (1989)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Advanced flight control system design, analysis, and testing methodologies developed at the Ames Research Center are applied in an analytical and flight test evaluation of the Advanced Digital Optical Control System (ADOCS) demonstrator. The primary objectives are to describe the knowledge gained about the implications of digital flight control system design for rotorcraft, and to illustrate the analysis of the resulting handling-qualities in the context of the proposed new handling-qualities specification for rotorcraft. Topics covered in-depth are digital flight control design and analysis methods, flight testing techniques, ADOCS handling-qualities evaluation results, and correlation of flight test results with analytical models and the proposed handling-qualities specification. The evaluation of the ADOCS demonstrator indicates desirable response characteristics based on equivalent damping and frequency, but undersirably large effective time-delays (exceeding 240 m sec in all axes). Piloted handling-qualities are found to be desirable or adequate for all low, medium, and high pilot gain tasks; but handling-qualities are inadequate for ultra-high gain tasks such as slope and running landings.

    A piloted simulation investigation of yaw dynamics requirements for turreted gun use in low-level helicopter air combat (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: A piloted, fixed-base simulation study was conducted to investigate the handling qualities requirements for helicopter air-to-air combat using turreted guns in the near-terrain environment. The study used a version of the helicopter air combat system developed at NASA Ames Research Center for one-on-one air combat. The study focused on the potential trade-off between gun angular movement capability and required yaw axis response. Experimental variables included yaw axis response frequency and damping and the size of the gun-movement envelope. A helmet position and sighting system was used for pilot control of gun aim. Approximately 340 simulated air combat engagements were evaluated by pilots from the Army and industry. Results from the experiment indicate that a highly-damped, high frequency yaw response was desired for Level I handling qualities. Pilot preference for those characteristics became more pronounced as gun turret movement was restricted; however, a stable, slow-reacting platform could be used with a large turret envelope. Most pilots preferred to engage with the opponent near the own-ship centerline. Turret elevation restriction affected the engagement more than azimuth restrictions.
