Aerodynamic characteristics of a six-jet V/STOL configuration with four swing-out lift jets in the transition speed range

A wind-tunnel investigation has been made of the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics and jet-interference effects of a model of a jet V/STOL variable-sweep fighter airplane that employs four direct-lift engines which swing out from the fuselage and two lift-cruise engines located in the rear part of the fuselage. Data were obtained with two wing areas for various forward speeds and power conditions in the transition speed range. The data are presented without analysis or discussion.

Effects of ground proximity on the aerodynamic characteristics of a six-jet V/STOL configuration with four swing-out lift jets

A wind-tunnel investigation has been made of the effects of ground proximity on the longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamic characteristics and jet-interference effects of a model of a jet V/STOL variable-sweep fighter airplane that employs four direct-lift engines which swing out from the fuselage ahead of the wing and two lift-cruise engines located in the rear part of the fuselage. Data were obtained through a range of angles of attack and sideslip at simulated speeds from hover through transition at various heights of the model above a moving-belt ground plane. Power-off data and power-on data at several power conditions are presented. The data are presented without analysis or discussion.

A VTOL translational rate control system study on a six degrees-of-freedom motion simulator

A linearized translational rate system for near hover flight was optimized on a large motion simulator under the constraints of no disturbances and limited control power. Both lateral and longitudinal modes were considered with the primary variables of investigation being control sensitivity and response stiffness and secondarily system damping. Yaw and height control characteristics were represented by an angular rate and acceleration system, respectively. General regions of desired sensitivity and stiffness for the longitudinal and lateral modes were determined under VFR conditions for both the rapid maneuver task and the station keeping/mild maneuver task.
