Abstract
Abstract A general dynamic model of the hang glider is applied to the analysis of response to control. The transfer functions of the glider to the longitudinal and lateral controls are formulated and some significant results, in terms of frequency response are presented and discussed. The relevant effects of the unsteady aerodynamics on the dynamics of the system are shown and the characteristics of poor lateral control are confirmed as observed in flight.
期刊介绍:
The Aeronautical Journal contains original papers on all aspects of research, design and development, construction and operation of aircraft and space vehicles. Papers are therefore solicited on all aspects of research, design and development, construction and operation of aircraft and space vehicles. Papers are also welcomed which review, comprehensively, the results of recent research developments in any of the above topics.
