Afti F 16 Flight Test Results And Lessons

Two-volume collection of case studies on aspects of NACA-NASA research by noted engineers, airmen, historians, museum curators, journalists, and independent scholars. Explores various aspects of how NACA-NASA research took aeronautics from the subsonic to the hypersonic era.-publisher description.

The AFTI/F-16 flight test program will offer many opportunities for the Air Force, NASA, and Navy to evaluate pilot-vehicle interface and mission effectiveness. The AFTI/F-16 vehicle contains an advanced systems capability that will enhance the pilots ability to control the aircraft. Automated modes will configure these systems to help the pilot and vehicle to better perform realistic combat mission tasks. The first year's flight test plan has many pilot-in-the-loop maneuvers that will permit the evaluation of flying qualities, pilot workload, weapon delivery accuracy, and survivability. New criteria are expected to be developed or validated in each of these areas. The results, if adequate resources are applied, should advance our capability to test and evaluate pilot-vehicle interface and mission effectiveness.

A bibliography of Technical Reports from Dryden Research Center, 1946-1996. Dryden was a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) facility from to 1946-1958, when NACA became NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). This bibliography encompasses both NACA and NASA publications. Illustrated with diagrams and photos. Black and white version.
