Overview
The Flight Dynamics Branch, advances technology in prediction and knowledge of flight dynamics characteristics, identifies and provides solutions to difficult flight dynamics problems, and supports development of new flight vehicle technologies. Flight dynamics research is highly multidisciplinary and includes work in the fields of attached and separated-flow (non-linear) aerodynamics, static and dynamic stability, control effector characteristics, dynamic modeling methods, flight-control-law effects, flying and handling qualities, agility and maneuverability, and out-of-control flight characteristics. This research is performed through the formulation, conduct, analysis, and correlation of a wide range of research methods including static and dynamic wind-tunnel tests, computational aerodynamics studies, dynamically-scaled model tests, analytical analyses, piloted simulation studies, and flight tests.
