Abstract
AbstractWith the advent of thrust vector control and post stall manoeuvrability affecting the design of modern combat aircraft, there still remains a shortage of performance metric tools available to the conceptual designer. The need for such a tool is highlighted, and a suitable metric is introduced. Using the metric, the effects of thrust vector control and post stall manoeuvrability are investigated quantitatively for a 180° heading change in the horizontal plane, in terms of time to complete the manoeuvre, final Specific Excess Power, energy change over the manoeuvre and turn diameter. The extension of the metric to investigate different manoeuvres and the impact of other new technologies is briefly discussed.
