Abstract:

Recent developments in fighter design technology have emphasized air combat maneuverability. High thrust-to-weight ratio engines, advanced lightweight structures, improved aerodynamic efficiencies and effective flight control systems developments enable realization of more responsive, higher levels of air combat maneuverability than ever before seen in fighter aircraft. Parallel developments in high acceleration and advanced cockpit technologies within the aeromedical and engineering communities have illuminated the ability to realize significant improvements in performance levels for future tactical fighters.
