Abstract:

A root locus analysis and computer simulation are used to determine the feasibility of one proposed method of mechanizing the blending of the normal acceleration mode with the basic aircraft response for the CCV YF-16. The root locus analysis predicts the stability and speed of response of the mechanized aircraft. The computer simulation confirms these results. Comparison is made of the responses of the basic, present CCV, and proposed mechanized YF-16. Author
