A linearized translational rate system for near hover flight was optimized on a large motion simulator under the constraints of no disturbances and limited control power. Both lateral and longitudinal modes were considered with the primary variables of investigation being control sensitivity and response stiffness and secondarily system damping. Yaw and height control characteristics were represented by an angular rate and acceleration system, respectively. General regions of desired sensitivity and stiffness for the longitudinal and lateral modes were determined under VFR conditions for both the rapid maneuver task and the station keeping/mild maneuver task.
