| Description | A general study of longitudinal control feel was made with a transonic fighter-type airplane equipped with a control-feel system which 4 was adjustable in flight. The control-feel system provided a feel component with individual gain control in proportion to each of five quantities: stick deflection, stick rate, airplane normal acceleration, pitching acceleration, and pitching velocity. A number of feel configurations were investigated in flight and analytically. These feel configurations had feel components in various amounts from various combinations of these five sources. The results contained herein are all for an airplane center-of-gravity position at approximately 25 percent of the mean aerodynamic chord, a Mach number of 0.85, and an altitude of 28,000 feet. Results are presented as time histories, as plots of the variation of peak force per g with input duration, and as frequency-response plots. A number of frequency-response plots are included to illustrate the effects of choice of feel sources and gains. The results illustrate the desirability of balancing a normal-acceleration feel component with a pitching-acceleration feel component. Pitching-velocity feel is shown to be useful for shaping control-system frequency response. The results suggest the desirability of designing a control-feel system to a large extent by means of frequency-response analysis in order to keep the shapes of the frequency-response curves within desirable limits. |
