Research On Controls And Displays For V/STOL AirplanesReport describes continuing research into electronic control and display systems for vertical/short-takeoff-and-landing (V/STOL) aircraft. Objective of research to develop advanced digital control systems ("fly-by-wire" systems) integrating flight and propulsion controls. Intended to enable pilots to perform complicated landing maneuvers, including transitions from horizontal to vertical flight under visual and instrument flight conditions and landing in bad weather on decks of heaving ships, in confined spaces, and at ill-prepared sites.
