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.

The USAF Stability and Control Digital DATCOM. Volume I. Users Manual.

ADA086557

Publication Date	1979
Personal Author	Williams, J. E.; Vukelich, S. R.
Page Count	316
Abstract	This report describes a digital computer program that calculates static stability, high lift and control, and dynamic derivative characteristics using the methods contained in the USAF Stability and Control Datcom (revised April 1976). Configuration geometry, attitude, and Mach range capabilities are consistent with those accommodated by the Datcom. The program contains a trim option that computes control deflections and aerodynamic increments for vehicle trim at subsonic Mach numbers. Volume I is the user's manual and presents program capabilities, input and output characteristics, and example problems. The program is written in ANSI Fortran IV. The primary deviations from standard Fortran are Namelist input and certain statements required by the CDC compilers. Core requirements have been minimized by data packing and the use of overlays. User oriented features of the program include minimized input requirements, input error analysis, and various options for application flexibility.
