The results of the first phase of a three year agility program are presented. A highly valuable approach was produced for developing a rational concept of agility and for relating agility to the flight dynamics, maneuvering performance, and to the design of the aircraft. The flight mechanics of a rigid aircraft in three-space maneuvering flight are examined with respect to total velocity, acceleration, and the time-rate-of-change of accleration. The terms of the expanded 'agility vector' are interpreted with regard to their potential for providing a rational basis for the evaluation of any given set of agility metrics and for suggesting, directly, a new set of metrics. A potential form of agility is offered for which a readily acceptable relationship is traced to both flying qualities and maneuvering performance.
