The fourth flight research program using the variable stability, variable display X-22A VTOL resarch aircraft was undertaken with the objective of expanding the operational capability of VTOL aircraft under adverse weather conditions. The experiment investigated a matrix of control, display and task variables for the landing approach task in a ground simulation phase followed by an in-flight simulation phase. Aerodynamic characteristics of the McDonnell-Douglas AV-8B Advanced Harrier were simulated for a prescribed decelerating approach profile using the X-22A's variable stability system; around this simulation, an analog of the AV-8B control system was implemented to investigate a range of realizable control system designs. Combinations of these control concepts and a variety of head-up display formats and information levels were evaluated in fight for simulated instrument approaches.
