摘要: |
An analytical and limited experimental study was undertaken to assess the effects of rudder control systems and strategies in transport aircraft. The analytical study encompassed a pilot and vehicle analysis of possible feedback strategies that could be used by a transport aircraft pilot for lateral and directional control. The effect of control sensitivity was accounted for in approximate fashion in the analyses. Pilot-induced oscillation tendencies were examined. The experimental study involves a desktop, human-in-the-loop simulation of the tasks used in the analytical study. A final comparison was undertaken involving pedal force/displacement characteristics for three transport aircraft and a helicopter. A simple index was proposed that can quantify the linearity of the force/displacement characteristics of any force/feel system. |
