Description

Report presenting flight testing and analog-computer studies using flight-test results of a swept-wing jet fighter in the landing condition to determine the factors that influence a pilot to select the minimum approach speed for carrier-type landings. Many factors that influenced the pilot occurred in approximately the same speed range, and the quantitative determination of the influence of each factor was not possible. Results regarding measurement of airplane and engine characteristics, field-carrier landings, and analog simulation of airplane and hypothetical autopilot in high-dip maneuver at constant thrust are provided.
