Linearized Lateral-Directional Equations of Motion Robert Stengel, Aircraft Flight Dynamics MAE 331, 16 Learning Objectives 6 th -order -> 4 th -order -> hybrid equations Dynamic stability derivatives Dutch roll mode Roll and spiral modes Reading: Flight Dynamics 574-591 Copyright 16 by Robert Stengel. All rights reserved. For educational use only. http://www.princeton.edu/~stengel/mae331.html http://www.princeton.edu/~stengel/flightdynamics.html 1 Review Questions Why can we normally reduce the 6 th -order longitudinal equations to 4 th -order without compromising accuracy? What are the longitudinal modes of motion? Why are the hybrid 4 th -order equations useful? What are dimensional stability and control derivatives? Under what circumstances can the 4 th -order set be replaced by two nd -order sets? What benefits accrue from the separation, and what are the limitations? What is normal load factor? Would you rather have one so-so flying car or a good airplane and a good car?

Where is the cockpit? How are the engines and vertical surfaces swiveled? What does asymmetry do to stability and control? 8
NASA Oblique Wing Test Vehicles Stability and control issues abound: The fact that birds and insects are symmetric should give us a clue though they use huge asymmetry for control Strong aerodynamic and inertial longitudinal-lateral-directional coupling High side force at zero sideslip angle Torsional divergence of the leading wing Test vehicles: Various model airplanes, NASA AD-1, and NASA DFBW F-8 below, not built 9 Stability Axis Representation of Dynamics 3
