In-fl ight simulation experiments performed in 1967 with a
variable-stabil ity aircraft during the author's stay at Princeton
University, motivated the study of handl ing characteristics of
future transport aircraft with closed-loop fl ight control systems.
In 1972, the first experiment took place at the National Aerospace
Laboratory NLR, using one of its research aircraft. In anticipation
of expected developments in (digital) fl ight control technology,
the research programme following the first experiments was aimed at
the establ ishment of quantitative handl ing qual ities criteria.
An appreciable part of that programme has been sponsored by the
Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs (Nederlands Instituut
voor VI iegtuigontwikkel ing en Ruimtevaart) and the Department of
Civil Aviation of the Netherlands (Rijksluchtvaartdienst). In 1981,
a thorough review of the extensive and valuable data gathered was
started. The result, presented in this book, was also included in
the author's thesis for a Ph.D. degree of the Delft University of
Technology. To introduce the reader to the multi-discipl inary
field of handl ing qual ities research, introductory chapters are
presented on longitudinal aircraft dynamics, closed-loop fl ight
control systems using non-mechanical signal transmission, human
pilot dynamics, hand I ing qual ities assessment techniques, and
the present status of handl ing qual ity criteria.
