INTRODUCTION This issue of Aeronautical Engineering - A Continuing Bibliography (NASA SP-7037) lists 429 reports, journal articles and other documents originally announced in March 1988 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, construc- tion, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines) and as- sociated components, equipment, and systems. It also includes research and development in aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied in most cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged by the first nine STAR specific categories and the remaining STAR major categories. This arrangement offers the user the most advantageous breakdown for individual objectives. The citations include the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. The IAA items will precede the STAR items within each category Seven indexes -- subject, personal author, corporate source, foreign technology, contract number, report number, and accession number -- are included. An annual cummulative index will be published. Information on the availability of cited publications including addresses of organizations and NTIS price schedules is located at the back of this bibliography.

A03/MF A01 CSCL 01C -• -COSATICODE The Highly Manueverable Aircraft Technology (HiMAT) program consisted of design, fabrication of two subscale remotely piloted research vehicles (RPRVs), and flight test. This technical memorandum describes the vehicles and -test approach. An overview of the flight test results and comparisons with the design predictions are presented. These comparisons are made on a single-discipline basis, so that aerodynamics, structures, flight controls, and propulsion controls are examined one by one. The interactions between the disciplines'are then examined, with the conclusions that the integration of the various technologies contributed to total vehicle performance- gains. An assessment is made of the subscale RPRV approach from the standpoint of research data quality and quantity, unmanned effects as compared with manned vehicles, complexity, and cost. It is concluded that the RPRV technique, as adopted in this program, resulted in a more complex and costly vehicle than expected but is reasonable when compared with alternate ways of obtaining comparable results. Author TYPICAL JOURNAL ARTICLE CITATION AND ABSTRACT ON MICROFICHE ACCESSION NUMBER - - A88-100950 TITLE - -SYNTHESES OF REDUCED-ORDER CONTROLLERS FOR ACTIVE FLUTTER SUPPRESSION AUTHORS- • ATSUSHI FUJIMORI and HIRO8UMI OHTA Japan Society for -JOURNAL TITLE Aeronautical and Space Sciences, Journal (ISSN 0021-4663), vol. 35, no. 402, 1987, p. 353-362. In Japanese, with abstract in English, refs Reduced-order controllers for active flutter suppression of a two-dimensional airfoil are studied using two design approaches. One is based on the generalized Hessenberg representation (GHR) in the time domain, and the other, called the Nyquist frequency approximation (NFA), is a method in the frequency domain. In the NFA method, the reduced-order controllers are designed so that the stability margin of the Nyquist plot may be increased over a specific frequency range. To illustrate and to make a comparison between the two methods, numerical simulations are carried out using a thirteenth-order controlled plant. It is to be noted that the GHR method can yield quasi-optimal controllers in the sense of minimizing quadratic performance indices. The designed controllers, however, do not have enough stability margin, and the order reduction resulting from full state controllers may not be satisfactory. On the other hand, reduced-order controllers irt.the NFA method can be designed with increased stability margin at the expense of the performance index. For all simulation cases, the NFA method yields second-order controllers with a better stability margin than those by the GHR method. Thus, the NFA method provides an effective method for synthesizing robust reduced-order controllers.
