A Method for Calculating the Dynamic Stability of a Human-Piloted Airplane by the “Root-Locus Method”

Abstract

A method of treating a human-piloted airplane as one closed-loop system and calculating the dynamic stability of the airplane by the Evans's “Root-Locus Method” has been investigated. Using this method, not only the characteristics of the transient motion but also the control ability of the human-pilot to decrease the residual motion of the airplane can be understood conveniently. In this paper, some results of numerical calculation with this method are described for a typical airplane
