Various equivalent system techniques were applied in this study, but nonecould generate equivalent transfer functions which satisfactorily correlated with thepilot ratings. A-*wert simplerwp less timeconsuming criteria was the transient peak ratio, rise time, effective delay criteria. This technique provided'the same results as the"best" equivalent system match. The gain attenuation and phase rate criterion from the Dropback and Nichols chart criterionprovided the best correlation with the pilot evaluations in predictingevel 1 and non-Vevel 1 configurations .More research isnecessary to determine boundaries for the -handling qualities levels.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

The analysis done in this report was based on the short period flying qualities criteriarecommended in the proposed MIL-PRIME Standard and Handbook. Between the time of this study(Aug '87) and its publication (Dec '87) the MIL-PRIME Standard and Handbook has received the officialdesignation of MIL-STD 1797. In reference to the work done in this study, there is little differencebetween what was written in the Handbook and what is now Appendix A of MIL-STD 1797. Therefore,the results, conclusions and recommendations stated in this study are also applicable to MIL-STD 1797.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

The MIL-PRIME Standard and Handbook (reference a) was designed so that a customMIL-Standard will be developed fot each new procurement or major modification of an existing aircraft.The procedure used to develop a Standard is to identify mission requirements, break down the missionrequirements to mission tasks and select the most appropriate handling qualities criteria from theHandbook and insert it into the Standard. For the short period response, the Requirement GuidanceSection of the Handbook lists sixalternate criteria. They are as follows:

1. CAP or w 2/(n/a), ,p, To

2. wspT,,sp '

3. Transient Peak Ratio, Rise Time, Effective Delay

4. Bandwidth, Time Delay

5. Closed Loop Criteria

6. Dropback and Nichols Chart Boundaries

The first criterion listed above is based on the wsp vs n/a boundaries from MIL-F-8785C (referencec). CAP or Control Anticipation Parameter is defined as the ratio of the initial angular acceleration inpitch to the steady state change in load factor for a longitudinal step input. CAP is equivalent toWsP 2/(n/a) with n/a = (V/g) (1 /Te,). The corresponding CAP boundaries for Categories A, B and C areshown in Figure 1. The second criteria uses the product of wspTe2 as a metric instead of the CAPvalues. The product WspTO, measures the lag in phase at wop or rather the time between the attitude ancflight path responses to elevator deflection. Figure 2 shows the Category A, B and C boundaries forWspT,, vs ,p. It is still unresolved as to which metric is better, generally the product w8sT.2 correlateswell with documented CAP results. There are cases where wp T02 provided slightly better results thanusing the CAP values (reference a).

The Handbook requires simultaneous equivalent system matches with the pitch and normal loadfactor at the center of rotation transfer functions for these two criteria. The resulting equivalent transferfunctions have the following forms:

q Kq (s + 1 IT,) e- °s

F, s 2 + 2 sps + wsp2

n, Kn e-os

Fs s2 + 2 sp s + Wsp2

over a frequency range of 0.1 to 10.0 rad/sec.

The transient peak ratio, rise time, effective delay criterion is effectively a short period pitch rate timehistory criterion. Figure 3 defines the quantities in this criterion. The pitch rate response is that to a stepinput of controller force or deflection calculated from the two-degree-of-freedom equations of motion. Thebenefit of this criterion is that an equivalent system match is not necessary and it is not limited by theorder of the transfer function.

The effective rise time, At, was derived from the CAP limits defined in MIL-F-8785C. The Handbookgives maximum and minimum At values for the terminal and nonterminal flight phases - correspondingto Category C and B requirements. For example, Level 1 CAP requirements for Category C flight phasewere:

.16 -_ sp 2 / (n/at) -- 3.6 rad/(g a sec2)

which according to the Handbook can be related to the effective rise time by the following substitution:

.16 -_ gNt(At) -_ 3.6 rad/(g - sec2 )

This can then be rearranged to produce the limits given in the Handbook -

g / (3.6 V) _ At _- g/ (.16Vt) sec

The maximum At values for Levels 1 and 2 of the nonterminal phase as well as the maximum Level 2At value for the terminal phase of flight corresponds to relaxed CAP minimums. These values are a resultof correlation with flight test data from existing aircraft (reference a).

The transient peak ratio, -q 2/Aq1 , describes the damping of the system. The limits, as described inthe Handbook, are based on the minimum damping requirements from MIL-F-8785C.

The bandwidth criterion is another criterion that could support higher order transfer functions, since itis based on the open-loop pitch attitude frequency response to pilot control force or deflection. TheHandbook defines the bandwidth, Wbw, as the highest frequency at which the phase margin is at least 45degrees and the gain margin is at least 6 dB (Figure 4). The equivalent time delay is defined as-

p = - (2, + 180)/(57.3 x 2w180)

where w180 is the frequency corresponding to -180 degrees of phase and 4)2 ,,, is the phase angle attwice that frequency. Category A and C requirements are shown in Figure 5. Category B requirementswere nct given in the Handbook due to insufficient data.

The closed-loop criterion is based on a single-loop closure on pitch attitude based on the followingFigure.

FIGURE 6 PILOT CONTROL LOOP FOR PITCH ATTITUDE

Yc is the O/Fs or e1 transfer function of the aircraft and flight control system where F, is the pilot forceand 6 is the controller deflection. 6c is an external pitch attitude command and Oe is the pitch attitudeerror. YP is the analytical pilot model described as either

Yp= Kpe. 25s (Tp1 S + or = Kpe.25s (5s + 1) (,TP1 S +

(TP2 S + 1) S (p2 S +)

The Handbook recommends, for landing, a bandwidth of 2.5 rad/sec for a closed-loop phase of -90degrees shall be attainable with closed-loop droop no more than -3 dB for Levels 1 and 2. Closed-loopresonance no greater than 3 dB for Level 1, 9 dB for Level 2 over the frequency range from 0 to 10rad'sec. No constraints were given for the Kp, T"p, and Tp 2 values of the pilot model. The magnitudeand bandwidth requirements may apply to either the force or deflection control inputs.

The final recommended criterion presented in the Handbook was derived from the guidelinesdeveloped by Gibson (references d and e). Level 1, 2, or 3 boundaries are not defined since thiscriterion was mainly intended for fly-by-wire control law optimization. The criterion consists of four partsfor Category C flight. First, a pitch rate time history is required to determine the attitude dropback asdefined in Figure 7. It normally should be negative. Second, the normalized n, step step response for nzat the c.g. should fall within the envelope shown in Figure 8. The corresponding rise time, 'n,, should bewithin the boundaries shown in Figure 9. Third, the frequency response of the 0/F, transfer should fallwithin the envelope shown in Figure 10 with the gains of the 0/F. transfer function adjusted so that thecrossover is at -120 degrees of phase. The frequency at -120 degrees of phase is to be between0.25 and 0.5 Hz. Lastly, in addition to conforming to the requirements for the frequency responseenvelope, the 0/F, frequency response must satisfy the gain attenuation to be greater than 0.1 deg/Ib at-180 degrees of phase and that the phase rate must be greater than 100 deg/Hz at -180 degrees ofphase.

This background indicates that much work has been done in an attempt to develop a general shortperiod requirement but no one criterion has always been applicable. The Handbook gives firstpreference to CAP or wop 2/(n/,), ,p, T requirement from MIL-F-8785C using the equivalent systemstechnique. For those highly augmented aircraft where a "good" equivalent system match is not possible,the other criteria may be applied at the discretion of the procuring agency.

The Flight Dynamics Branch of the Naval Air Development Center, as part of its effort to identifyflying qualities criteria for manned aircraft, undertook the investigation of the short period requirementsrecommended in the Handbook. This was done to determine which of the criteria would be mostappropriate for present and future Navy transport in the approach and flared landing tasks. Therequirements listed in the Handbook were applied to the dynamic configurations listed in reference b.The predicted flying qualities levels were then compared with the associated pilot ratings.

1.2 PURPOSE

The purpose of this study was to consider several existing short period dynamic requirements forthe approach and flared landing tasks in order to determine which of the criteria provided the bestmethod to predict the handling qualities levels for a generic transport and use these results for theapplication in future Navy Standards for transport aircraft. This was accomplished using informationfrom NASA Contractor Report 178188, "Flared Landing Approach Flying Qualities" (reference b);configurations 1 through 14 were considered as well as the baseline configuration. This report presentsthe various criteria applied and compares the predicted results with the associated pilot ratings.

1.3 SCOPE

The dynamic configurations used in this effort encompassed four classes of control commandsystems: angle of attack, pitch rate, angle of attack and pitch rate hybrids and flight path rate. For allthe cases the short period frequency was kept constant at wp = 2.0 rad/sec. The short period dampingwas varied as ,p = 0.7, 1.3, 2.1 and 1/T ( 2 was varied as 1/Tf = 0.5, 0.9, 2.0. The phugoidcharacteristics were varied to provide the appropriate command system by pole-zero placement. Thevalues for sp and 1I T( were chosen so as to potentially yield Level 1 through 3 handling qualitiesratings based on MIL-F-8785C requirements. Table 1 lists the values for each configuration.

The short period criteria applied to the aircraft configurations were those recommended in theHandbook. Modifications of the Handbook criteria specifically meant for transport aircraft were alsoconsidered. In addition an angle of attack time history envelope and a time domain predictive criteriawere included in this effort.

1.4 APPROACH

The approach taken in this study was to consider the configurations from reference b andsequentially apply the criteria recommended in the Handbook. In addition, two criteria mentioned in theflared landing study were also considered. They were an angle of attack time history envelope and atime domain predictive criterion.

As was mentioned in the background section, the Handbook requires simultaneous equivalentsystem matches with the pitch and normal load factor at the center of rotation transfer functions for theCAP and wOpT, criteria. For this study the center of rotation was at the pilot station except forconfiguration 12 where the center of rotation was at the c.g. Also, if phugoid effects were present, thefrequency range was reduced from 0.1 to 10.0 rad/sec to 0.3 to 10.0 rad/sec.

Taking into consideration that other equivalent system matching techniques could produce differentequivalent" results, several other techniques were considered. A second simultaneous match with q/Fs

and nz'F, was determined with n, at the center of gravity. Then an equivalent system match wasdetermined using only the q/Fs transfer function and similarly an equivalent system match wasdetermined using only the angle of attack to pilot stick force (a/Fs) transfer function. Lastly an equivalentsystem match was determined as a two part combination of a'Fs and q/Fs equivalent system matches.The first part would determine the equivalent short period frequency and damping from the (X/Fsequivalent system match. The second part would hold the equivalent short period frequency anddamping values fixed while determining an equivalent q/Fs transfer function.

The low order equivalent system transfer functions were generated using LONGFIT and NAVFIT(references f and g). LONGFIT was used to determine the equivalent transfer functions for thesimultaneous q.'Fs and nzc!/Fs or nzo/Fs matches as well as the matches using only the q/F, transferfunction. NAVFIT was used to determine the equivalent a/Fs transfer functions. The equivalent systemprograms provided an option to let the 1/Te value to be fixed or free. For all applicable cases 1/To, wasfixed at the airframe value for the initial match. The 1ITo value was then freed to determine if a betterand more reasonable match could be attained. The resulting equivalent system match results wereplotted against the criteria boundaries. There has been some question as to whether the more stringentCategory A requirements are more applicable for the flared landing task as compared to Category Crequirements. When possible both Category A and C boundaries were considered in this study.

The transient peak ratio, rise time, effective delay criteria called for the pitch rate response to astep pitch controller input calculated for the two-degree-of-freedom equations of motion. The discussionin the background portion of the Handbook for this requirement implied that if phugoid residues did notprohibit defining a short period steady state pitch rate then a short period approximation was notnecessary, while if large phugoid effects were present then the short period approximation should beapplied. For this study, the transfer functions were relatively simple and in many cases the phugoidresidues were small. Four configurations, 1, 4, 8 and 13, did display phugoid effects and the shortperiod approximation was applied to these configurations.

The Handbook gives maximum and minimum At values for the terminal and nonterminal flight phasescorresponding to Category C and B requirements. In addition At limits were derived using Category ACAP boundaries. Also several of the configurations were overdamped and the ratio, Aq2/Aqj, wasessentially undefined (Aq 2/Aq = 0/0). For those cases the maximum MIL-F-8785C dampingrequirements were applied to the short period transfer function values.

NADC 87157-60

The original transfer functions were used to evaluate the remaining criteria. In cases where thepiloted input could be either stick force or deflection, the piloted stick force input was used.

As was mentioned in the beginning of this section, flying qualities criteria other than those listed inthe Handbook were also considered. The angle of attack time history envelope was developed in aprevious Calspan study (reference h). It is shown in Figure 11 and is based on data used to developMIL-F-8785B (reference i).

The time domain predictive handling qualities criterion was developed based on the slopes of theangle of attack and n,, responses as shown in Figure 12. Also considered were time delay and pitchsensitivity metrics. Reference b gives the development of this criterion. The resulting predictive equationis

PHQR'= 1.7. - 1.44 NzP + 0.55 T0' + TD' + E' + 2.0

where

PHOR' = Predicted Handling Qualities Rating

' = as defined in Figure 12 (AHQR)

Nz.p =as defined in Figure 12 (AHQR)

T.' =as defined in Figure 12 (AHOR)

TD' = lime delay metric, 0.02 (TDq - 100) (1/Ilb)/0.45, (AHQR)

TDq = time from wheel controller pitch force step input to maximum slope interceptof the resultant pitch rate response (ms). See Figure 13. When TD isless than 100 ms, let TD' = 0.

l/lb = pitch sensitivity measured by the maximum slope pitch rate responses to a

step input divided by the pitch force (deg/sec2/lb)

0.45 = nominal optimal sensitivity for wheel controllers (deg/sec2 /Ib)

0.02 = nominal slope for sensitivity lines (HQR/ms)

100 = time delay threshold for the flared landing task (ms)

q = sensitivity metric, 4/lb- 0.45I (AHOR)

0.2 = allowable sensitivity range for wheel controllers (deg/sec2/lb)

2.0 = bias term where a "criteria perfect" (& = Nzp = To = TD= l' = 0)configuration would yield a HOR of 2.

These values are based on wheel controllers.

1.5 TEST CONFIGURATION DESCRIPTION

The aircraft model used in the flared landing flying qualities study was a generic medium size

transport. The model characteristics were as follows:

Weight (W) = 193,000 lbs.

Mass (m) = 5999.4 slugs

Wing Area (S) = 2174 ft2

Wing Span (b) = 157 ft

Wing Chord ( ) = 15.074 ft

lxx = 4,003,900 slug-ft2

lyy = 5,408,500 slug-ft 2

Izz = 9,184,470 slug-ft2

Ixy = 223,410 slug-ft2

Vtr,m = 132 KIAS (223 fps)

q= 59.14 psf

Rather than defining a longitudinal aerodynamic model and corresponding control system for eachconfiguration, the longitudinal transfer functions were defined by exact pole-zero placement that wouldgenerate a certain time history response corresponding to the short and long term command system.Figures 14 through 17 show the pole-zero patterns and corresponding angle of attack and pitch ratetime histories to a step input. Figure 14 shows that for both a short and long term angle of attackcommand system (Configurations 1, 5, 13) the phugoid poles cancel the angle of attack zeros so thatthe angle of attack response is a pure second order response. In the pitch rate response there is nopole-zero cancellation resulting in the time history response displaying phugoid effects. Figure 15corresponds to configurations 2, 6, and 14 which are pitch rate command systems in both the long andshort term. Poles and zeros of the pitch rate transfer function cancel so that the pitch rate time historydisplays a first order response. The angle of attack response is ramplike since there is no pole-zerocancellation. The hyb:id systems were combinations of the angle of attack and pitch rate commandsystems, i.e. a short term angle of attack command system would have a long term pitch rate commandsystem (Configurations 3 and 7) and vice-versa (Configurations 4 and 8).

Figure 16 corresponds to the short term angle of attack and long term pitch rate command system.In the pitch rate transfer function, the phugoid poles cancel the pitch rate zero and 1 /T,, eliminating anyphugoid effects. The oscillatory short period roots and the 1/To, zero produce an initial overshoot in thepitch rate response before the response reaches a steady state pitch rate value. There is no pole-zerocancellation in the angle of attack transfer function so both the short period and phugoid effects areevident in the time history response. The short term pitch rate, long term angle of attack representationis shown in Figure 17. The angle of attack transfer function shows pole-zero cancellation for thephugoid, but due to the two real short period roots the response is first order in nature. The pitch ratetransfer function shows a pole-zero cancellation at 1/Te,. The remaining short period pole provides aninitial first order response, but phugoid effects cause the pitch rate response to return to zero.

The flight path rate (j) command systems (Configurations 11 and 12) provided a well dampedsecond order n,,, response (Figure 18). The resulting pitch rate response may be either first or secondorder in nature depending on the pole locations of the denominator. The angle of attack response wasramplike for both configurations.

The associated time and frequency responses for each configuration are presented in Appendix A.Appendix B contains the state space representation and associated transfer functions for eachconfiguration.

2.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results of this study were based on the average Cooper-Harper handling qualities rating (HQR)of each configuration for both the approach and flared landing task. Figures 19 and 20 show theresulting average pilot ratings and standard deviations for the two flight tasks. In only one case was apilot rating thrown out. Pilots A and F gave configuration 11 (- command) pilot ratings of 7 and 8respectively. They complained of entering into a PIO (Pilot Induced Oscillation). Pilot G did mention thepresence of a slight PIO tendency, but it did not affect his rating of HQR = 2. Such a large spanbetween ratings with the three pilots mentioning the presence of PIOs gave reason to suspect the 2 andtherefore it was not considered in the total average rating.

The average approach ratings (Figure 19) tended to be between 2 and 4 with configuration 12having an HQR = 5. This indicated that the pilots did not see a large difference between theconfigurations. The flared landing ratings (Figure 20) showed a greater distribution in pilot ratings, andt herefore more sensitivity to the different configurations. The difference in the average pilot ratingsbetween the two flight phases indicates that the flared landing requirements and approach requirementsmay not necessarily be the same. That is, Category C requirements may not apply to both flight tasks.Therefore the stricter requirements of Category A were also considered in this study for theirapplicability to the short period requirements for the flared landing task.

Each of the following sections individually discusses the results from applying the short periodrequirements recommended in the Handbook as well as the alternate time domain criteria to theconfigurations from reference b. When applicable, modifications to the requirements are presented toprovide a better correlation to the predicted handling qualities levels and the actual pilot ratings. Sincethis study considered the effects of applying various equivalent system techniques, the CAP and w.Tecriteria are both discussed in Section 2.1. Section 2.8 presents a summary of the results.

2.1 EQUIVALENT SYSTEMS

Five equivalent system matching techniques were applied to the transfer functions from eachconfiguration. The methods used were as follows:

simultaneous q/Fs and n,/F, match

simultaneous q/Fs and nz,,/F, match

q/F, match only

ct/Fs match only

two part ca/F, match for w8p and ;,p, then q/F match for 1 /To,.

The equivalent system programs provided an option to let the 1 /To2 value be fixed or free. For allapplicable cases 1, T 2 was fixed at the airframe value for the initial match. The 1/T',2 value was thenfreed to determine if a better and more reasonable match could be attained. The resulting values arelisted in Appendix C.

The equivalent system values were then plotted against the CAP vs ,p and wspTe2 vs t=p for bothCategory A and C requirements. In addition the wsp vs n/a requirements from MIL-F-8785C were alsoconsidered. Figures 21 through 23 are the results from the simultaneous q/Fs and nz/Fs match for thethree criteria listed. Appendix D.1 contains the remaining plots for each equivalent system match.Presented in Table 2 is a summary of the overall results for both the approach and flared landing tasksusing each equivalent system matching technique. The numbers listed in the Table are the percentageof cases in which the average pilot ratings corresponded with the predicted handling qualities levels.

These results shed little light on whether 1/T 2 should be fixed or free. Inherent in the nature of the"two part a/Fs then q/Fs match" 1/102 is free. The resulting 1/T92 values from the two part match on thewhole were reasonable and in the general area of the original 1/To2 values. In other cases, the equivalent1/7 0 2 values were not as consistent and were either rather large or small. Such was the case for thesimultaneous q/Fs and nz /Fs match where in a majority of the cases values for 1iTf 2 were greater than4 and in one case (Configuration 4) 1/TO2 was as high as 22.8. Such a dilemma may be avoided in thecase where the simultaneous q/Fs and n,/Fs match was used. (Note: this corresponds to methodrecommended in the Handbook.) In this case the same results were reached either with or wihtout 1/T9,free. Using this method and keeping 1/T9, fixed allows the same correlation with pilot ratings while stillmaintaining the significance of 1f/To2.

From the results listed in Table 2, it can be seen that for the approach task the simultaneous q/F,and nz/Fs match provides the best overall correlation with pilot ratings for the three criteria used. Thereare other cases which similar results occur, e.g. q/Fs match using wsp vs n/a criteria. Both the two parta/Fs then q/F, match with 1 /T@ free generated the same flared landing results for Cateogry A w=p vsn/a. The two part match provided the best correlation for the CAP vs t~p criteria while the q/F, matchwith 1iTo free provided the best correlation for wspTe vs sp criteria. None of the results showed verygood correlation with the average pilot ratings.

2.2 TRANSIENT PEAK RATIO, RISE TIME, EFFECTIVE DELAY

Presented in Table 3 are the limits for the effective time delays, rise time and transient peak ratios asdefined by the Handbook for the terminal flight phase. In addition, alternate rise time limits were definedfrom Category A CAP requirements and are also presented in Table 3. This was done because theHandbook presents the rise time limits in terms of terminal and nonterminal flight phases derived fromrelaxed Category C requirements. Based on the results from the 15 configurations used in this study, thepilots were more critical of the flared landing than the approach task. It would appear then, that instead ofrelaxing the maximum effective rise times, they should be constricted toward Category A requirements.Both the recommended Handbook and the equivalent Category A At values were considered in thisstudy.

The results are tabulated in Table 4. The overall predicted handling qualities level for eachconfiguration was based on the highest level rating for each part of the criteria. From the Handbookrecommended values, 53% of the predicted configurations corresponded to the approach pilot ratingswhile 47% of the predicted values corresponded to the flared landing pilot ratings. The maximum Atvalues using Category A CAP requirements were able to improve the correlation between predictedvalues and pilot ratings by 1 case or up to 53% correlation for the flared landing task. In general, thetransient peak ratio predicted the same level handling qualities levels as the Category A Atrequirements. The results could be improved if the maximum Level 2 damping requirements wereincreased from 2 to 2.1. Never did the pilots give the high damping cases a Level 3 rating as predictedin MIL-F-8785C, but rather Level 1 or 2 for both the approach and flared landing tasks. If this were thecase, the correlation with pilot ratings would improve to 60% for the approach task and the flaredlanding task would show 53% correlation. This criterion yislded the same results as with the equivalentsystems but with less effort or debate as to which equivalent system matching technique was moreapplicable.

2.3 BANDWIDTH, TIME DELAY

In Figures 24 and 25 the resulting bandwidth and time delays for the 15 configurations were plottedagainst the Category A and C boundaries for the approach and flared landing tasks. The Category Cr3quirements corresponded with 40% of the pilot ratings for the approach task. Category Arequirements corresponded with 60% of the pilot ratings for the flared landing task. These results wereno better than any of the previously considered criteria (worse in fact for the approach task). TheHandbook does discuss that for classical aircraft the Level 1 boundaries may be too stringent for thetransport class of aircraft that was being considered in this study. (The boundaries in the Handbookwere based only on highly augmented fighter aircraft.)

Reference b proposed new bandwidth boundaries for the transport class of aircraft to reflect thetrend that pilots tolerate lower bandwidths and higher time delays in this class of airplane. Figure 26shows the recommended transport boundaries and the corresponding approach and flared landingresults. The flared landing correlation improved to 73% with pilot ratings, but the approach decreased to33% correlation with pilot ratings.

The distribution of the approach Level 1 rated configurations and the corresponding brndwidthswas over the frequency range Wbw = 0.9 to 3.3 rad/sec. At the same time, Level 2 rated configurationsalso fell within that range. This indicates that for the approach task, the bandwidth may not adequatelyseparate Level 1 from Level 2 configurations.

In an attempt to improve the flared landing results, the Level 1 boundaries for the modifiedbandwidth criterion were shifted as shown in Figure 27; to both better correlate with the results from thisstudy and those of reference b. The modified boundaries improved the correlation between the pilotratings and predicted ratings to 80%. The correlation for the data in reference b improved slightly from70 to 74%. These modified boundaries may better predict the landing flying qualities levels for thetransport class of aircraft.

2.4 CLOSED-LOOP CRITERION

Two alternate pilot models were given as part of the closed-loop criterion. The pilot model used inthis study was as follows:

Yo = Kp e- 25 s (mip S + 1)' (Tp2s + 1)

with no constraints for the Kp, Tp1, and TP 2 values of the pilot mod6.. To determine the pilot modelvalues, the 0/F5 frequency response was studied to determine the additional phase and gain necessaryto meet the closed-loop landing requirements. The values for %p and TP2 could be derived from thephase gain (lead compensation) necessary to produce a closed-loop phase of -90 degrees at w = 2.5rad/sec (closed-loop landing requirements per reference a). The relationships for the lead compensationare as follows:

1 (TUs 4-1)G(s) - rs1(-.S+ 1)

with

d) required = sin-'

W required = 1.

T pj = TL

"p2 = T

(reference j). It was assumed the Kp value was a pure unitless gain term to yield 0 dB at w = 2.5rad/sec. The values for the pilot models to meet the landing requirements for each configuration arelisted in Table 5.

Figure 28 shows the resulting closed-loop frequency response for the base case which satisfies theclosed-loop requirements. Similar plots for the remaining cases are in Appendix D.2. No magnitude orphase limits were set in the Handbook for frequencies greater than w = 2.5 rad/sec.

The results were that 53% of the cases corresponded with the average pilot ratings for theapproach task and 33% of the cases for the flared landing task. Further analysis of the data showed arelationship between the pilot model gain and phase and pilot ratings. Figures 29 and 30 are plots ofthe pilot model gain vs phase for the approach and flared landing tasks. The boundaries drawn seem toseparate the Level 1 gain and phase combinations from the Level 2 and 3 cases. It can be seen thatthe cases which required combinations of large and small gain and phase values to meet the bandwidthrequirements tended to yield degraded flying qualities. The combination of both small pilot gain andphase values also yielded Level 2 or 3 pilot ratings. It is possible that a similar upper limit also exists.For the boundaries shown in Figures 29 and 30 there was 87% correlation with the average approachpilot ratings and 93% correlation with the average flared landing pilot ratings. Further studies arenecessary to verify the results but the boundaries seem to define a range of acceptable pilot models.These boundaries could be used as limitations for the pilot models or as a new metric to measure theeffort required to control the pitch attitude response.

2.5 DROPBACK AND NICHOLS CHART BOUNDARIES

The final recommended criterion noted in the Handbook were the guidelines developed by Gibson.Level 1, 2, or 3 boundaries were not defined since this criterion was mainly intended for fly-by-wirecontrol law optimization. The criterion considers the step input time response of attitude, flight path andnormal acceleration at the center of gravity as well as the attitude frequency response.

The criterion, as stated in the Handbook, is as follows for Category C:

a. For Category A and C flight phases, attitude dropback as defined in Figure 7 should notnormally be negative, satisfactory values depend on the task and the pitch rate transients.

b. Normal acceleration responses can be related to Level 1 frequency and dampingrequirements by the boundaries shown on Figures 8 and 9. Any oscillation following the first peaksnould suDsioe such that tWe ratio of successive half-cycles is less tnan 0.3.

c. An envelope of satisfactory Category C landing approach response for frequencies belowthe required bandwidth of 0.25 to .5 Hz at 120 degrees phase lag is shown in Figure 10.

d. All frequency responses must satisfy the Figure 10 requirements for response attenuationand phase lag rate of increase at the 180 degree phase lag crossover frequency.

Figures 31 and 32 are plots of dropback/q values vs pilot rating for the approach and flared landingtasks. If positive values were to be considered Level 1 then there was 53% correlation with the averagepilot rating for the approach task and 47% in the flared landing task. As it can be seen the results weremixed with the sign of the dropback/q value not adequately determining whether the aircraft would berated satisfactory or not by the pilot. This poor correlation may be due to the fact that not all of thecommand systems used in this study had the same angle of attack or pitch rate response asrecommended by Gibson (see Figure 33). Of the 15 configurations used in this study, only three(configurations 5, 7 and Baseline) had similar time histories to those shown in Figure 33. The three casescorroborated the predicted ratings for the approach task. In the flared landing task, configuration 7 wasrated as Level 2 instead of the predicted Level 1.

Requirement (b) calls for the n, step response to within the envelope shown in Figure 8. Theenvelope describes a well-damped first or second order response as a function of minimum andmaximum short period irequency defined by n/a. (From MIL-F-8785C Category A requirements:wr = 0.55 rnT", w,, = 1.95 In'/a) Figure 34 shows the normalized time history response forconfiguration 7 to a step input and the corresponding envelope. The remaining cases are in AppendixD.3.

Considering Level 1 handling qualities to be those cases which satisfy the n, time history envelope,47% of the configurations corresponded with this requirement for the approach task and 60% for theflared landing task. Again since not all the configurations had similar time histories as those shown inFigure 33, the n, response envelope did not accurately describe all the configurations and theirexpected handling qualities. Configurations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 13 displayed an initial overshoot and thendropped back toward zero and in some cases even reversed response (configurations 1, 4 and 13). Notall of these cases were rated worse than Level 1. Configurations 1, 2 and 13 were rated as Level 1 fort'-e approach task and for the flared landing task configurations 1 and 4 were rated Level 1. Thebaseline configuration had a ramp-like n, response and was rated as Level 1 for both the approach andflared landing tasks.

The approach and landing results for the second part of requirement (b) are shown in Figure 35.The figure shows a plot of r, vs na where Ti,, was defined as a function of damping and short periodfrequency derived from MIL-F-8785C Category A CAP requirements. For the cases which did not havea second order response, Tin, was defined by this author as the time to reach 95% of the peakovershoot. For the approach task 53% of the cases corresponded with the average pilot ratings whilefor the flared landing task 40% corresponded with the average pilot ratings.

Requirement (c) sLates that the frequency response of the O/Fs transfer function should fall withinthe envelope shown in Figure 10 with the gains of the O/Fs transfer functions adjusted so that thecrossover is at -120 degrees of phase. The frequency at -120 degrees of phase was also required tobe between 0.25 and .5 Hz. The frequency response plot for configuration 7 is shown in Figure 36. Theremaining plots are in Appendix D.4.

It was considered that the cases which fell within the optimum attitude response envelope would berepresentative of Level 1 handling qualities and those outside the envelope were not Level 1. Thecombined envelope and frequency requirements were able to correlate with 53% of the averageapproach pilot ratings and 67% of the average flared landing pilot ratings.

Thus far the requirements have been used to determine whether the aircraft configurations weresatisfactory (Level 1) or not satisfactory (Levels 2 or 3). Attempts were made to establish the Level 2 or3 boundaries by considering the frequency values at -120 degrees phase and the corresponding pilotratings. Figures 37 and 38 show the results for the approach and flared landing tasks. There is a trendof increasing pilot ratings with decreasing values for w120 for both tasks. This is indicated by the bandsdrawn. As can be seen in Figure 37 the pilot ratings were between 2 and 4 Cooper-Harper HandlingQualities Ratings for the range of .16 to .31 Hz. This does not allow for a clear separation between theLevel 1 and 2 configurations. It also indicates that for the approach task the frequency at -120 degreesof phase may not contribute to the prediction of handling qualities levels or may not even be necessaryas a requirement for the frequency response envelope. If only the O/F, response envelope wasconsidered, the same results occur with or without the frequency requirement.

In Figure 38 a more definite trend can be seen between the various handling qualities levels for theflared landing task. Determining frequency values to define the separate handling qualities levels couldnot be done due to the scatter of the data.

Gibson had mentioned in reference d that the frequency at -180 degrees (w18o) was to be 1 Hz orgreater. Applying this requirement to the approach task reduced the correlation with pilot ratings to 47%and the flared landing task correlation was reduced to 60%. The frequency values at -180 degreesphase were plotted against the approach and flared landing task pilot ratings in Figures 39 and 40.

The trend for the approach task that occurred in Figure 37 also occurred in Figure 39 for W1o.Again the frequency response envelope provided better indication as to whether the configuration wouldbe rated Level 1 or not for the approach task. It is possible that neither set of frequency values mayhave contributed to the pilot evaluations. Similarly in the bandwidth, time delay criterion, the bandwidthvalues could not separate the Level 1 and 2 configurations for the frequency range of .9 to 3.3 rad/sec.Contributing to the difficulty of separating Level 1 from Level 2 configurations was that most of theaverage approach ratings were between 2 and 4.

For the flared landing task results in Figure 40 it can be seen that there is less scatter between thedata points than there was in Figure 38. Also a clearer separation between the frequency values andthe corresponding level ratings can be seen by the dashed lines drawn. If the separations shown areused in conjunction with the frequency response envelope, then 73% of the cases correlated with theaverage pilot ratings by level. Some improvement was shown for the flared landing task using w18 as aparameter, but further investigation is necessary.

The last requirement noted in Gibson's criteria was that the frequency response must satisfy thegain attenuation (Gain 0/F, - 0.1 deg/Ib) and phase lag rate of increase (phase rate -- 100 deg/Hz) atthe crossover frequency. Using these requirements 60% of the approach cases corresponded with theaverage pilot ratings and 80% of the flared landing cases corresponded with the average pilot ratings.The phase rate and gain attenuation were plotted against the average approach and flared landing pilotrating to determine possible handling qualities levels.

Figures 41 and 42 show the average pilot ratings vs phase rate for the approach and flared landingtasks. It can be seen that for the approach task, the phase rate was between 77 and 136 deg/Hz(except for the j, configurations) with an average phase rate of 107 deg/Hz. In that range there was noclear separation between the Level 1 and 2 configurations, again due to the pilot ratings being between2 and 4. From the trend lines drawn it can be seen that at higher phase rates (> 250 deg/Hz) theconfigurations were definitely Level 2. In Figure 42 a better separation can be seen between the flaredlanding cases rated as Level 1 and not Level 1 about the phase rate value of 100 deg/Hz; where forincreasing phase rate there is a decrease in handling qualities. For this case there is some scatter ofthe data about the trend lines drawn with 80% of the cases within the bounds. From the trend linesdrawn, phase rate level values were determined and corresponded with 73% of the average pilotratings.

Figures 43 and 44 are plots of average pilot ratings vs crossover gain values for the approach andflared landing tasks. Requiring that the gain at the crossover frequency be less than 0.1 deg/lb provided67% correlation with the average approach pilot rating and 53% correlation with the average flaredlanding pilot rating. For the approach case a definite trend of increasing handling quality rating withincreasing gain attenuation values can be seen. Again for the approach task it is difficult to determine avalue which would separate the Level 1 from Level 2 configurations. The limiting value of 0.1 gainattenuation at - 180 degrees of phase was kept since a majority of the configurations satisfied thiscriteria. Combining the phase rate and gain attenuation results provided 53% correlation with the averagepilot ratings.

It can be seen that for the flared landing case, with increasing gain attenuation values there wereincreased handling qualities ratings. The configurations seemed to separate by level into the boundariesshown with the dashed lines. These lines provide 93% correlation by level with the average pilot ratings.Combining the new gain attenuation boundaries with the phase rate requirement again resulted in 80%correlation by level with the average flared landing pilot rating.

Combinations of the four requirements were considered but the best results occurred if onlyrequirement (d) was applied. There still is a need for better criterion to predict approach short periodhandling qualities.

2.6 ANGLE OF ATTACK TIME HISTORY ENVELOPE

From the NASA/Calspan study (reference b) it was noted that the data base used to develop theangle of attack time history envelope was from a variable stability aircraft generally configured as anangle of attack or conventional command system with stable but lightly damped phugoid modes. Asdescribed in the Introduction, the type of command system determines the general shape of the aircraftresponses. Therefore this envelope was not applicable to the pitch rate or "9 command systems.Another limitation noted about the data base was that the phugoid effects were not specificallydocumented so only those configurations without phugoid mode residuals could be evaluated withrespect to the envelope. Of the 15 configurations, 6 could be evaluated with respect to the angle ofattack time history envelopc. The configurations were 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 13.

Figures 45 through 48 show the angle of attack response with respect to the time history envelopecriteria. Table 7 lists the predicted flying qualities and the average pilot ratings for the approach andflared landing tasks. From Figure 47 and Table 7 it can be seen that configurations 5, 9 and .13 had thesame angle of attack response but different average pilot ratings for the flared landing task. Note theenvelope predicted the flying qualities to be Level 1 but configurations 5 and 9 were rated Level 2 forthe approach and flared landing tasks. Configuration 13 was correctly predicted as Level 1 for theapproach-task. The envelope did not correspond with the Level 3 rating configuration 13 received forthe flared landing task.

Of the six applicable configurations only 3 (configurations 1, 4 and 13) corresponded with theaverage pilot rating for the approach task and configuration 1 was the only case to correspond with theflared landing pilot ratings. This criteria provided the worst correlation with the average pilot ratings forthe set of configurations used in this study. Of the 15 configurations, only 20% of the configurationscorresponded with the average approach pilot ratings and 6.7% corresponded with the average flaredlanding pilot ratings.

2.7 TIME DOMAIN CRITERIA

The predictive criteria was defined in reference b as follows:

PHOR' = 1.7&' - 1.44N; + 0.55T& + TD' + 1'+ 2.0

The 2.0 is a bias term where a "criteria perfect" (&' N;, = T& = TD' = = 0) would yield anPHOR' of 2. All other terms are as previously defined in the introduction.

There are several limitations to this criteria.

1. The criteria is applicable only to the flared landing task for large transport aircraft.

2. Pitch controllers other than wheel and center stick (side stick for example) are notapplicable due to lack of sensitivity data. It was stated in the report that the sensitivityparameters for the center stick have not been sufficiently defined.

3. Lightly damped configurations were not applicable. The criteria was designed to allowthe flight control designer to locate poles and zeros to satisfy Level 1 boundaries ofMIL-F-8785C wn,. vs n/a requirements. Thus lightly damped configurations were not applicableas well as excessively low or high frequencies.

4. Divergent configurations also were not applicable by the same reasoning as the lightlydamped cases.

5. "Decoupled" configurations such as 9 and 10 were not applicable since they showedflat steady state responses for both the q and a response. This was a result of the use ofdirect lift flaps and these effects were not included in the development of the predictivehandling qualities criteria.

Table 8 lists the values used to develop the predictive handling qualities ratings for the casesconsidered in this study. Figure 49 shows the average handling qualities ratings vs the predictedhandling qualities ratings for the flared landing task. The results show an 80% correlation by level withthe average handling qualities ratings.

Though this criteria seems to provide very good predictive capabilities it is limited to the flaredlanding task for transports with wheel pitch controls. This predictive technique seems highly dependent ontask and type of aircraft (stable, conventional designs). To eventually develop predictive capabilities for alltypes of aircraft and tasks may require an excessive amount of flight testing and analysis. Each task ornovel aircraft configuration may require the development of its own predictive equation.

2.8 SUMMARY

2.8.1 MIL-HANDBOOK SHORT PERIOD CRITERIA

Table 9 shows a comparison of the Mil-Handbook recommended short period criteria and theircorrelation with the approach and flared landing pilot ratings. The best correlation for both the approachand flared landing task was part d from Gibson's criteria. The Handbook states that this criteria was"intended for fly-by-wire control law design optimization and overall handling Levels 1, 2 and 3 have notbeen established." Attempts have been made to determine handling qualities levels in this study butfurther investigation would be necessary for inclusion in a Standard.

None of the remaining criteria could adequately correspond with the pilot evaluations for either theapproach or flared landing tasks. All but the bandwidth criterion yielded 53% correlation with theaverage approach pilot ratings. The bandwidth criterion seemed more applicable for the moredemanding flared landing task - 60% correlation with the average pilot ratings using Category Arequirements. In general the Category A requirements yielded slightly better correlation with the flaredlanding pilot evaluations than the Category C requirements.

Since all but the bandwidth criterion yielded the same results for the approach task, any of theremaining five criteria could be used in the development of the Standard for the approach task for atransport aircraft. The transient peak, rise time, effective delay criterion may be the best to include in aStandard, especially for an aircraft with higher order dynamics. The transient peak ratio, rise time,effective delay criterion does not require an equivalent system reduction. Thus there is no doubt as towhether the "proper" equivalent system match technique has been applied. It does not require the apilot model as in the closed loop criterion. What the criterion does do is measure the relative effect ofshort period frequency, damping and time delay on the transient pitch rate response to a step input.

2.8.2 EQUIVALENT SYSTEMS TECHNIQUES

An attempt was made to determine if there was an equivalent system technique that bestrepresented the aircraft configuration and provide a correiation with the applicable criteria recommendedin the Handbook. The results were mixed, with three techniques giving the "best" correlation betweenpilot ratings and criteria requirements. The three methods were q/Fs match, the simultaneo..us q/Fs andnz/Fs match and the two part a/F, then q/Fs match.

For the approach task it was the q/Fs and n,/Fs which gave the best results. Fixing or freeing 1/TO2

generated the same results for the CAP vs sp and the wspTe vs Csp criteria. Keeping 1/To2 fixed (at theairframe value) gave the best result for ws, vs n/a. Since the same results could be achieved with 1 /To,fixed or free, it would be best to do the simultaneous q/Fs and nzo/Fs match with 1 /Te, fixed so as notto lose the significance of this term.

Both the two part a/Fs then q/Fs match and the q/F, match with 1 /Te, free generated the sameresults for Category A wsp vs n/a requirements. The two part match provided the best correlationbetween the flared landing pilot ratings and the CAP vs ,p criteria. It was the q/F, match which gavethe best correlation for the wsTe, vs 4, criteria, but of all the equivalent system cases this showed thepoorest correlation with the pilot evaluations for the remaining criteria.

2.8.3 TIME AND FREQUENCY RESPONSE BY GIBSON

On the whole, Gibson's criteria provided about the same percentage correlation with pilot rating forthe approach task as the other criteria mentioned in the Handbook. Slightly better correlation with pilotrating was achieved for the flared landing task, indicating that Gibson's criterion may be more applicableto higher precision tasks.

As it was mentioned, part (d) of the criterion did provide the best correlation with the pilot ratingsfor both the approach and flared landing tasks. The Handbook, in discussing this criterion, indicated thatthe attitude dropback requirement would be a candidate for a new requirement. This may be true forother classes of aircraft, but for the transport type used in this study it was the gain attenuation andphase rate criterion that appeared to be a better candidate for a new criterion. Also definite trends werefound to determine handling qualities levels based on gain attenuation values.

2.8.4 ALTERNATE CRITERIA

Alternate criteria as well as modifications to existing criteria were also considered in this study. Themodifications were done so as to provide a better correlation with the given criteria based on the dataused in this study.

Because all but one of the average approach pilot ratings were between 2 and 4 Cooper-Harperhandling qualities ratings it was difficult to determine alternate boundaries for the approach task. Thedata tended to be either closely grouped together or widely separated without any clear separationbetween the Level 1 and 2 cases. This was evident by the equivalent or reduced results as seen inTable 10.

Improvement or Degradation from original requirements

For the flared landing task there was some separation between the handling qualities levels whichwas reflected in the improved results. The only alternate criteria which showed no improvement was theangle of attack time history envelope. This criteria was by far the worst, primarily due to its limitationson the type of configurations which could be applied to the criteria. The best results for both theapproach and flared landing tasks was from the pilot gain vs pilot phase criteria. The criteria comparesthe pilot gain and phase necessary to satisfy the closed-loop criteria. The boundaries were based solelyon the results from this study which irdicated that combinations of extreme (either large or small) phaseand gain values would yield unsatisfactory handling qualities. Further investigation of this criteria isnecessary.

Some of the modifications considered for the existing criteria were to apply Category Arequirements in determining the rise time limits for the pitch rate time history criteria, apply transportboundaries (as determined in reference b) to the bandwidth criteria and considering the crossoverfrequency value in Gibson's frequency response envelope. Of the modifications to the existing criteria,the transport boundaries for the bandwidth criteria showed the hest correlation to the flared landing pilotratings. Further modifications to the transport boundaries slightly improved the results from 73% to 80%correlation with the average pilot ratings.

NADC 87157-60

The time domain criteria also resulted in 80% correlation with average pilot ratings. Although itappears to be a very good candidate as a flying qualities criteria it was highly dependent on task andcannot be extended to other tasks or type of aircraft.

3.0 CONCLUSIONS

The primary short period criteria recommended in the MIL-PRIME Handbook could not satisfactorilypredict the handling qualities for the 15 transport configurations used in this study. The gain attenuationand phase rate criterion from Gibson's criterion provided the best correlation with the pilot evaluations inpredicting the Level 1 and non-Level 1 configurations, especially for the flared landing task. Moreresearch is necessary to determine boundaries for the handling qualities levels. Initial results from thisstudy indicate that the gain attenuation values at the crossover frequency may be used to determinehandling qualities levels.

Using Category A requirements to predict the flared landing handling qualities showed a slightimprovement over Category C requirements. This indicates that the stricter requirements may be moreapplicable to the flared landing task, but further consideration is necessary.

None of the equivalent system techniques applied in this study could generate equivalent transferfunctions which satisfactorily correlated with the pilot ratings. A much simpler and less time consumingcriteria was the transient peak ratio, rise time, effective delay criteria. This technique provided the sameresults as the "best" equivalent system match while still measuring the same parameters - effectivefrequency, damping and time delay.

During attempts to better understand the existing criteria the values for the pilot gain and phasenecessary to satisfy the closed loop criteria were examined. The results from the configurations used inthis study indicated that there were possible boundaries on the values of the gain and phase necessaryto satisfy the closed-loop requirements. Further investigation is necessary, but it does show promiseeither as candidate criteria or potential limits for the pilot models used in the closed-loop criterion.

4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

The results show that there was no established criteria which would be most applicable for theinclusion in a Standard for present and future Navy transports. No criterion could completely correlatewith the pilot ratings used in this study. The gain attenuation and phase rate criterion from Gibson'scriterion seems promising. Further investigation of this criterion should be done to determine levelboundaries as well as its applicability to other tasks and vehicle classes. The pilot phase and gain valueboundaries determined in this study should also be investigated since the boundaries were based onlyon the configurations used in this study.

APPENDIX B

This appendix presents the state space representation and corresponding transfer functions for each

configuration used in this study. The state representation is in form of:

X = FX + Gu

Where the state vector X = q, deg'sec

0, deg

a, deg

V, ft/sec

and the control vector u = [be, deg]

The F and G matrices are presented. In addition the command gain, Kc (deg/Ib), is listedseparately and should be multiplied by the gain of each numerator. The gain was chosen in theNASA/Calspan study to yield the same maximum q for each configuration to a 10 lb step input. Includedin the gain term is the stick gradient (1 in/12 Ib) so the transfer functions are with respect to the stickforce input.

The transfer functions are written in shorthand notation where:

K(a)[ .w] = K(s + a)(s 2 + 2 ws + w2)

The nz' and nz, transfer functions were determined from the a, q and 0 transfer functions through thefollowing relationships:

n a_z z Uosa UosOnz 9 57.3g 57.3 -g"

a n d n z p = n . .. - 5 7 .357.3 g

where U, = 225 ftsec and Xmp = 33.8 ft
