Abstract

This paper utilized Neal&Smith criterion to quantify handling qualities of some aircraft augmented with Control and Stability Augmentation System (CSAS) over the flight envelop. Some aircraft mathematical model which augmented by longitudinal pitch Rate Command-Attitude Hold(RCAH) controller are employed. The aircraft handling qualities are described in terms of transfer functions of the pilot mathematical model, which includes a pilot’s neuromuscular delay, phase and gain compensation terms. If desirable closed loop dynamic performance can be obtained by the pilot mathematical model described by transfer function characteristics, then the satisfactory closed loop dynamic performance will also be achievable for the human pilot with decent workload. Consequently, the assessment results can be used to identify CSAS controller’s satisfactory effect domain, and furthermore, in aid of CSAS gain scheduling strategy design.
