The theoretical and experimental investigation of height control systems for VTOL aircraft by means of height control test equipment is presented. The installations and instruments in height control test equipment were deliberately designed and constructed to meet the requirements for the safe and accident-proof operation as well as for the execution of new and fresh experiments. A 40-meter-height iron tower, one of the installations, was equipped on its side with rails along which a lorry freely runs up and down by means of the thrust generated by two lift jet engines (JR100H) mounted on it. The thrust of two engines were remotely controlled from the ground to reach the predetermined height. The maximum velocity and acceleration permitted were 10 m/s and 0.3 g respectively. (Author)
