Abstract

A pilot/vehicle analysis technique is offered that can provide predictions of handling-qualities levels and pilotinduced oscillation rating levels in single-axis tracking tasks, with linear or nonlinear vehicle dynamics. The technique is applied to the three vehicle conŽ gurations evaluated in the series of  ight tests sponsored by the U.S. Air Force that are identiŽ ed as HAVE LIMITS. The ability of the analysis technique to provide excellent quantitative predictions of the effects of actuator rate saturation on the handling qualities and pilot-induced oscillation susceptibility of the aircraft conŽ gurations is demonstrated. An interactive computer code is discussed that automates much of the pilot/vehicle analysis.
