G tolerance widely among individuals. It stands to reason that aircrew with higher G tolerance are less likely to experience symptoms of G stress in flight than are those with lower G tolerance, and that they can fly highly maneuverable aircraft with greater safety and effectiveness. To assure that aircrew with abnormally low G tolerance are not assigned to aircraft that operate in the high-G e...

Nonlinear propagation of noise measured during static run-up measurements of a military jet aircraft is considered. Measurements made of the noise radiation from the F35AA Joint Strike Fighter indicate levels commensurate with finite-amplitude sound propagation, both through a Gol’dberg number analysis and numerical modeling. Comparisons with a nonlinear propagation model based on the generaliz...

Surface and hardware failure affect the flight control system of the F-16 fighter aircraft. In the absence of failures and unpredictable changes. the controller, based on gain scheduling performs very well and exhibits a good degree of robustness, even for high angles of attack. In order to accommodate for possible failures and maintain good performance characteristics, the contro...

An algorithm for computing transonic flow fields about fighter-type aircraft is described in the paper. The compressible Euler equations are solved numerically using a vertex-based, finite volume multigrid scheme. The space around the aircraft is discretized with a single-block H-0 mesh which is generated by the union of separate Omeshes around successive cross sections of the aircraft. The dis...

In early aircraft, the amount of fuel aircraft could carry usually determined how long it stay in flight. Today, with being able to air refuel, time they are aloft is based more on human needs, one waste management. Voiding urine a single-seat ejection seat has been an issue for male pilots past, but increasing numbers female finding solution intensified. This paper reviews various methods that...

This paper discusses the development of a computational approach for accurately determining static and dynamic stability and control characteristics of USAF high-performance fighter aircraft. A graduated approach is used to incrementally add Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation capability using DoD HPC resources. Static simulations, prescribed motion flight test maneuvers, and System I...

Since the concept of Manned-UnManned Teaming(MUM-T) and Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS) can efficiently respond to rapidly changing battle space, many studies are being conducted as key components mosaic warfare environment. In this paper, we propose a rule-based AI engagement model based on Basic Fighter Maneuver(BFM) capable Within-Visual-Range(WVR) air-to-air combat simulation environment in w...
