Abstract:
The report documents the conceptual design, breadboard development and pilot-in-the-loop evaluation of an automatic departure prevention system and a stall inhibitor for fighter aircraft. Using the A-7D as the study aircraft, a departure boundary characterized by alpha and beta was determined from the available data. This departure boundary was then used to help design an automatic departure preventer and a stall inhibitor. An automatic departure prevention device as described in the report works smoothly and will benefit the A-7 aircraft. With just the departure preventer, the pilots could maneuver freely, with great confidence and use the full capability of the airplane, well beyond the present departure boundary.
