The generalized simulation model developed for the E-7A STOVL fighter-type aircraft configuration has attempted to define the limits of acceptibility for a vertical-to-horizontal-to-vertical flight transition envelope. An effort was also made to determine the control power required during hover and transition, and to evaluate whether the integration of flight and propulsion controls thus far effected achieves good flying qualities throughout the low-speed flight envelope. The results thus obtained furnish a general view of the acceptable transition corridor, expressed in terms of the minimum-climb capability.
