Abstract:

Mathematical models of the AC130A and AC130E aircraft are proposed. The models are developed from linearized equations and are referred to trim conditions of level turning flight. The proposed AC130E model is compared to an existing model to ascertain whether any significant differences exist between the two. A qualitative comparison is conducted by investigating each models response to control deflections. The proposed AC130A model is used to predict general trends and probable values for stability derivatives and selected mode parameters over an extensive flight envelope.
