Abstract
A preliminary evaluation was made of a modified North American
NAvion airplane for use as a lateral -directional flight simulator in
the investigation of flying qualities criteria. Modification of the
test airplane was accomplished by installation of a three axis, variable
feedback autopilot and associated controls and sensing transducers. An
analytical development, based on servo-analysis methods, suggested the
ratio of the numerator and denominator frequency terms in the roll angle
to aileron control deflection transfer function as a possible flying
qualities criterion.
