G-induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) is a pilot human factors (HF) problem that plagues all air forces that fly high performance fighter aircraft. Spatial disorientation (SD) is an even more serious HF problem that affects not only the military but also commercial aviation. By some estimates, one out of every four aircraft mishaps is due to a HF problem, and the pilot flies a perfectly opera...

An L1 adaptive controller of piecewise constant type has been applied to a fighter aircraft by augmenting it to a linear state-feedback controller. Angle of attack and sideslip as well as velocity vector roll rate is demanded and controlled. It is relatively easy to design a controller augmentation this way; few parameters need to be tuned. To design an L1controller for roll/pitch/yaw-motion of...

Canard configuration on fighter planes is essential for regulating flow and the occurrence of vortex interactions main wing, one which to delay stall. Stall delays are useful when aircraft making maneuvering or short-landing. This study observed effect canard various models. Fighter models represented different configurations, such as Sukhoi SU-30 MKI, Chengdu J-10, Eurofighter Typhoon. Water t...

In this paper, a novel design approach for low-speed recovery of high-performance fighter aircraft is presented. It shown that the phugoid mode has an important bearing on problem departure. Based analysis trajectories, protection algorithm presented in paper. The proposed low speed achieved three phases. first phase consists detecting incipient departure followed second by application suitable...

The DLR Future Fighter Demonstrator (FFD) is a highly agile, two-seated aircraft with twin-engines equipped, reheat and design flight speed extending into the supersonic regime (up to Ma=2.0). Based on given conceptual design, presented work focuses aeroelastic modeling, including structures, masses aerodynamics. Using models, comprehensive loads analysis 688 maneuver load cases, covering whole...

The latest in the most popular head-to-head fighting video series, Super Street Fighter IV by Capcom, now features spectating functionality. Coupled with audio chat, players can both watch and participate in matches with anyone in the world. We describe a video analysis of over 36 hours of gameplay in SSF4. Our results show that players can deftly structure audio when spectating to transform ga...
