Recent trends in air-air combat technologies are dictating that pilots must be able to expand their flight envelopes in order to improve survivability in a multi-threat, all-aspect-weapons environment. The research community has borrowed the term 'supermaneuverability', from Dr. W.B. Herbst of M.B.B., to describe various aspects of flight envelope expansion, such as high angle-of-attack maneuvering, decoupled force maneuvering, very high transition rates and in-flight thrust vectoring/reversing. A study performed for the Air Force determined a utility for supermaneuverability and some of the technological deficiencies associated with the maneuvers, particularly in the high angle-of-attack regime. One cost of this added performance is the corresponding increase in pilot workload. Future needs of the designer require early evaluation of the flying qualities of supermaneuverable aircraft.
