 Abstract

To establish valid handling qualities requirements for VTOL and STOL aircraft a need exists for a simulator which adequately simulate s the dynamic response and environment of the vehicle under consideration. To this end a variable stability helicopter is proposed. This report outlines how a model-controlled autopilot may be used to vary the characteristics of a helicopter, enabling simulation of aircraft having a wide variety of dynamic response characteristics.
