The response in altitude and pitching velocity of the shuttle and of four other airplanes during the landing approach is compared. The effects of airplane type, pitch damping, center-of-gravity location, lift coefficient, and cockpit position are presented. The reasons for the differences observed and the effects of these differences on control characteristics are discussed.
