Use of Piloted Simulation for High-Angle-of-Attack Agility Research and Design Criteria DevelopmentThis paper reviews the use of piloted simulation at Langley Research Center as part of the NASA High-Angle-of-Attack Technology Program (HAATP) program to provide methods and concepts for the design of advanced fighter aircraft. A major focus of this program is to develop the design process required to fully exploit the benefits from advanced control concept for high-angle-of-attack agility. Important methodologies associated with the effective us of piloted simulation of the research are described, particularly those relating to the test techniques, validation of the test results, and design guidelines/criteria development.
