The NASA-Langley Research Center has incorporated into its stall/spin research program on military airplanes the use of piloted, fixed-base simulation to complement the existing matrix of unique research testing techniques. The piloted simulations of fighter stall/departure flight dynamics are conducted on the Langley Differential Maneuvering Simulator (DMS). The paper reviews the objectives of the simulation research, presents the rationale underlying the simulation methods and procedures used in the evaluation of airplane characteristics, and discuss in detail the evaluation steps used to assess fighter stall/departure characteristics. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the flight-dynamics phenomena dealt with. The use of the piloted simulation methods and procedures described has been found very effective in identifying stability and control problem areas and in developing automatic control concepts to alleviate many of these problems. A good level of correlation between simulated flight dynamics and flight-test results has been obtained over the many fighter configurations studied in the simulator.
