Modeling of Large-Amplitude High-Angle-of-Attack Maneuvers

Marilyn E Ogburn / Luat T Nguyen / Keith D Hoffler

Technical Motivation - 1950s: Indication of large lateral (roll/yaw) acceleration (“β-dot”) dynamic derivatives for configurations with strong vortex flows in the stall region (Lichtenstein, Campbell, Riley)! - 1960s: Increased emphasis on use of long-range missiles tempered by aircraft losses in close-in air combat - 1970s: - Effect of lateral acceleration derivatives on aircraft stability (Nguyen) - Characteristics and air combat advantages of rapid controlled large-amplitude maneuvering at low speeds near maximum lift shown in piloted simulations (Herbst) - 1980s: - Dynamic (forced-oscillation, rotary balance, curved- and rolling-flow) wind tunnel tests (Grafton, Lutze, Hultberg) - Incorporation of test data into computer simulations (Kalviste) - Technologies developed for controlled maneuvers at stall, post-stall angles of attack - Concern that conventional math modeling inadequately represented the dynamic component of these motions - Need to evaluate dependency of control laws on accurate computer simulations and motion prediction
