In-flight measurement of human describing functions used T-33 variable stability airplane; ground tests were conducted in T-33 airplane on ground with simulated instrument flight, and also on analog computer in conjunction with contact analog display; pilot was required to minimize bank angle in single-loop compensatory tracking task; describing functions were determined from Fourier transforms of time histories; no significant difference between average describing functions measured in flight and those measured in fixed-base simulator was indicated; variance was found to be considerably higher in flight data.
