The mathematical model of aerodynamic forces and moments is described, based on results from various wind-tunnel experiments with the RAE High Incidence Research Model (HIRM). Simulations of the responses due to longitudinal and lateral control inputs at high angles of attack are compared with the responses measured on free-flight models of the configuration. It is shown that the main features of the flight behaviour are reproduced, in particular such phenomena as roll-off, wing rock and nose slice.
