National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Comparison of the Basic F-4E and the Slatted F-4E Stall/Near Stall/Spin Characteristics.

Publication Date	1973
Personal Author	Pelikan, R. J.
Page Count	275
Abstract	This report presents the results of a six-degree-of-freedom analytical study to examine the stall/near stall/spin characteristics of the slatted F-4E aircraft. The basic F-4E and the slatted F-4E are analyzed and compared. Primary emphasis was directed toward the stall/near stall characteristics. Some analyses of spin characteristics and recovery techniques were also accomplished. Departure and post stall characteristics are analyzed in detail. The primary points of interest are: (1) types of entry into the stall, (2) the effect of lateral-directional control inputs on the departure characteristics, (3) recovery techniques, and (4) evaluation of five methods that predict the point at which the aircraft becomes lateral-directionally unstable. The previous F-4 spin evaluation developed a dynamic model whereby rotary balance and forced oscillation data are utilized to compute the spin and spin entry motions. Further development of this dynamic model has been accomplished so that it can be used in both the unstalled and stalled flight regimes. Transition between the two regimes can be smoothly accomplished. Based on the investigation, recommendations are made relative to the techniques for recovery from a departure and for preventing departures through the use of control surfaces. A comparison of the slatted F-4E flight test stall/near stall characteristics with the analytical characteristics are qualitatively evaluated.
