This paper addresses the strengths of centrifuge simulation to provide the unfamiliar and severe motion environment associated with high angle of attack and post-stall maneuvering. The approach to development and testing of centrifuge motion control algorithms is outlined, including inherent modeling constraints such as three degrees of freedom, estimated human perceptual models, and the machine-associated mechanical/structural considerations. Difficulties of algorithm development are illustrated using the results of a recent flying qualities experiment initiated to study the effects of motion on pilot ratings for proposed nose-down control power guideline criteria. Use of off-line computer models to tune algorithm performance is also presented. Finally, current capabilities of centrifuge simulation and a discussion of future applications is outlined.
