On the Determination of Longitudinal Transfer Function of the Cessna - 182 Aircraft Model

Abstract:

The present work focuses on the development of computer code related to the longitudinal stability analysis on a propeller driven light aircraft model. The computer code designed in such a way, so for a given aircraft data will produce the result in term of: 1) Longitudinal stability derivatives in non dimensional form as well as in their dimensional form, 2) The longitudinal stability aircraft characteristics related to position of neutral point ( stick free and stick fixed ) also the requested forces for deflecting the control surface, 3) The transfer function in response to the control surface deflection for the component velocity and pitch angle. Through this developed computer code one can make an assessment the longitudinal behavior for the propeller driven light aircraft [.
