Extract

In this Technical Note, is shown that relationships exist between flying qualities levels 1, 2 and 3 and flight conditions expressed in terms of Mach numbers, altitudes and angles-of-attack for the F/A-18 SRA (System Research Aircraft). These relationships are helpful in detecting if derivatives are well calculated for flight tests intermediate conditions.
