Abstract
This paper proposes new requirements for preventing pitch Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) of receiver during flying-boom aerial refueling. By applying mission-oriented PIO evaluation approach, various closed-loop response characteristics of the receiver are evaluated with a pilot-in-the-loop ground-based flight simulator. Based on the statistical analyses of the experiment results, the bandwidth of flight path, the control sensitivity of flight path, the pitch attitude transfer function zero and the short period mode natural frequency comprehensively reflect the requirements for preventing pitch PIO during flying-boom aerial refueling. The conclusions can be used to predict PIO tendencies and in the design of flight control laws for the flying-boom aerial refueling mode.
