Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference, Williamsburg, VA, August 18-20, 1986, Technical Papers
The present conference considers a robust adaptive flightpath reconstruction technique, the application of parameter estimation to highly unstable aircraft, dynamical path optimization of aerospace vehicles, the use of flight simulation to develop terminal instrument procedures for transport category aircraft, the flight dynamics of aeroelastic vehicles, optimal missile range with respect to thrust and altitude profiles, the attenuation of Magnus effect on a missile with N-vanes, the effects of heave damping on helicopter handling qualitities, and an optimal descending hypersonic turn-to-heading. Also discussed are an unsteady low speed aerodynamic model for complete aircraft configurations, a dynamic model for the real time estimation of aerodynamic characteristics, the aerodynamics of delta wings with leading edge blowing, an analysis of airline flight records for winds and performance with reference to the Delta 191 accident, the use of hinged strakes for lateral control at high angles-of-attack, vortex-induced effects on aircraft dynamics, the spherical mapping and analysis of aircraft angles for maneuvering flight, and a concept of automated aircraft guidance for air-to-air missiles.
