CONCEPTUAL FLUID MOTION COUPLING IN THE HERBST SUPERMANEUVER/

A study of the unique problems introduced by the coupling between cont rol demands and vehicle dynamics for advanced ah-craft performing radi cal maneuvers shows that the fluid/motion coupling depends critically on the aircraft geometry and maneuver/time history. The goal of the ex ploratory analysis is to provide the vehicle designer with increased i nsight into the basic how physics that can lead to troublesome couplin g effects between control input and vehicle dynamics.
