Evaluation and prediction of aircraft handling qualities

There is given briefly the analysis of some problems in evaluation and prediction of handling qualities (HQ) for highly augmented aircraft (HAA). There are considered the technique for definition of Cooper-Harper metrics - desired and adequate task performances (IP) and the technique for elimination of input signal on evaluation of handling qualities. Two for prediction of HQ in pitch tracking and tasks were developed. It is shown that criteria for prediction of flying qualities in pitch tracking task can be used and for evaluation of pilot-induced-tendency too. The criteria for prediction of HQ in pitch tracking and refueling tasks were obtained by investigation and standardization of pilot-vehicle characteristics in experiments on simulators with 64 and 21 dynamics configurations correspondingly.
