Abstract
The IEH Company's Continuous Systems Modeling Program
was used to simulate the longitudinal flight control system
of the F/A-18 aircraft. The model is intended for use in
investigations cf aircraft response to flight conditions
which approach spin or stall and is restricted to the
automatic flaps up (AFU) flight mode. Program outputs
include stabilator deflection, leading and trailing edge
flap positions, and cress-axis interconnect signals.
Various stick forces, motion sensor inputs, and air pressure
inputs were simulated to produce transient control surface
responses. These computer generated responses exhibited
characteristics corresponding to predicted aircraft control
surface movements.
