A pilot's opinion of the F-8 digital fly-by-wire airplane
The handling qualities of the F-8 digital fly-by-wire airplane are evaluated by using the Cooper-Harper rating scale. The reasons for the ratings are given, as well as a short description of the flying tasks.

Mechanization of and experience with a triplex fly-by-wire backup control system
A redundant three-axis analog control system was designed and developed to back up a digital fly-by-wire control system for an F-8C airplane.

An overview of NASA's digital fly-by-wire technology development program
The feasibility of using digital fly by wire systems to control aircraft was demonstrated by developing and flight testing a single channel system, which used Apollo hardware, in an F-8C test airplane.

Design and development experience with a digital fly-by-wire control system in an F-8C airplane
To assess the feasibility of a digital fly-by-wire system, the mechanical flight control system of an F-8C airplane was replaced with a digital system and an analog backup system.

The importance of steady and dynamic inflow on the stability of rotor-body systems
The induced flow field of a rotor responds in a dynamic fashion to oscillations in rotor lift. This was long known to affect the stability and control derivatives of the rotor.

Simulator Studies of the Deep Stall
Simulator studies of the deep-stall problem encountered with modern airplanes are discussed. The results indicate that the basic deep-stall tendencies produced by aerodynamic characteristics are augmented by operational …
