Abstract:SummaryThe nature of handling criteria and their uses in relation to the prediction of aircraft handling characteristics are discussed. A brief history is given of the development of ideas on handling, and a survey is made of criteria for modern aircraft, looking particularly at the physical factors affecting the pilot, as an indication of the basis of the criteria. The novel handling features arising with new aircraft species like slender wings and VTOL are considered. The scope of flight simulators and varia… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
