X-15 flight simulation studies

This paper describes briefly the flight-simulation studies carried out on the X-15 since the 1956 conference, the capabilities of current simulations, and some of the significant results of these studies. The scope of these simulations has been expanded to cover the entire flight regime so that it is now possible to fly the entire mission from launch to landing approach.

Simulator studies of the attack phase of an automatically controlled interceptor

The attack phase of the automatically controlled interceptor is studied in two parts. Part I is a limited simulation conducted to specify the lateral and longitudinal control systems for an automatic interceptor. The results are presented as Nyquist plots and time histories of the airplane variables. Part II uses the control systems developed in Part I, together with a dynamically perfect guidance system, to study the effect of the nonlinear terms in the complete equations of motion and nonlinear aerodynamics on the airplane response. The results are presented as time histories of the airplane and control surface motions.
