Artificial stabilisers and the need for simulation

Abstract

MODERN HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT with large envelopes, a variety of external stores and possibly, variable geometry as well, cannot exhibit sufficient inherent stability (static and dynamic) and conformity of handling qualities without the use of artificial stabilisers. This is especially true for vertical take off and landing aircraft which exhibit either neutral stability or instability during hovering and transition.
