Extract

In the analysis of aircraft flight dynamics problems at high incidence, non-linear aerodynamic effects are of considerable importance. The aerodynamic phenomena are generally extremely complicated and the non-linearities may be difficult to predict quantitatively. In this note we confine our attention to longitudinal symmetric motion at constant speed and height. Our aim is (i) to enable the pilot to know when he is in a potentially dangerous manoeuvre (which could lead, for example, to a super-stall) and (ii) to determine simple control laws for an autopilot which would prevent such a super-stall occurring.
