The objective of the proposed study is to test the feasibility of a unique and innovative aircraft control concept. the concept involves using small pneumatic or mechanical devices to manipulate the orienta-tion, trajectory and breakdown characteristics of the dominant vortex system that develop on… More

Current performance measures of merit do not characterize maneuvers required by fighters to be effective when using all-aspect, shortrange missiles during air combat. point performance comparisons and sustained performance comparisons are not adequate indicators of a fighter's ability to maneuver to… More
