Yusuf, Vilius Portapas, et. al., Method to assess lateral handling qualities of aircraft with wingtip morphing. 2018 AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference, 8-12 January 2018, Kissimmee, FL, USA. Paper number AIAA 2018-10159781624105258http://dx.doi.org/10.2514/6.2018-1015https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/12948The impact of in- ight folding wingtip on roll characteristics of aircraft has been studied in the past. In this study, a handling qualities assessment carried out to de-risk further development of such a device. A specialised ight simulation campaign is prepared to evaluate the roll dynamics in di erent morphing con gurations. Various manoeuvres, including the O set Landing Manoeuvre and herein presented Slalom and Alignment Tracking task are used. Cooper Harper Rating scales and ight data analysis are used to collect pilot opinion and validate pilot-in-the-loop simulation results. This example is used to demonstrate the use of the slalom and Alignment Tracking manoeuvre for lateral dynamic assessment.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 InternationalArticle
