Evaluation of XV-15 tilt rotor aircraft for flying qualities research application

The results of a design review study and evaluation of the XV-15 Tilt Rotor Research Aircraft for flying qualities research application are presented. The objectives of the program were to determine the capability of the XV-15 aircraft and the V/STOLAND system as a safe, inflight facility to provide meaningful research data on flying qualities, flight control systems, and information display systems.

A study for active control research and validation using the Total In-Flight Simulator (TIFS) aircraft

The results of a feasibility study and preliminary design for active control research and validation using the Total In-Flight Simulator (TIFS) aircraft are documented. Active control functions which can be demonstrated on the TIFS aircraft and the cost of preparing, equipping, and operating the TIFS aircraft for active control technology development are determined. It is shown that the TIFS aircraft is as a suitable test bed for inflight research and validation of many ACT concepts.

In-flight research applications of an analog computer and symbol generator to determine display and control requirements for VTOL instrument landings

This paper describes the design and application of an airborne analog computer and display generator. The system was developed as an aid to investigate the interaction of display system complexity and control system complexity on pilot rating and performance for VTOL aircraft instrument landings.
