| Description | Equations of motion simulating the landing approach case for the supersonic cruise vehicle were programmed and exercised using a fixed base simulation facility. Unaugmented and augmented system comparisons using this facility are provided. Refinements necessary for system performance improvement are made. The unaugmented longitudinal responses to elevator commands are slow and sluggish, requiring augmentation to increase the speed of the response. In the lateral directional case, the Dutch roll is highly underdamped and requires an augmentation system to increase this damping and provide satisfactory flying qualities. The status of this fixed base study is that the longitudinal equations, updated with recent wind tunnel data, were evaluated on the simulator and the system found to be satisfactory. The lateral axis equations are linearized and are not yet updated to large excursion capability; consequently, only limited, preliminary findings on this system are available. The basic results so far indicate augmentation systems are required to provide a satisfactory longitudinal system, and that additional study and evaluation of the lateral directional case are necessary before a more complete assessment can be made. |
