Abstract:

Partial failures of aircraft primary flight-control systems and structural

damages to aircraft during flight have led to catastrophic accidents with

subsequent loss of life. These accidents can be prevented if sufficient

alternate control authority remains which can be used by the pilot to execute

an emergency safe landing. Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) investigated

the use of engine thrust for emergency flight control. Using an F-15 aircraft,

NASA DFRC successfully demonstrated in 1993 in a series of 36 flights, including

actual propulsion controlled aircraft (PCA) landings, that throttle control of

engines alone can be used to augment or replace the aircraft primary

flight-control system to safely land the aircraft. NASA DFRC conducted flight

tests in Aug.-Dec. 1995 of the MD-11 jet transport utilizing engine thrust for

backup flight control. A series of three piloted simulation tests have been

conducted at Ames Research Center to investigate propulsion control for safely

landing a mid-size jet transport which has experienced a total primary

flight-control failure. This report describes the concept of a PCA, discusses

pilot controls, displays, and procedures; and presents the results of a series

of three piloted simulation evaluations of the concept by a cross-section of

air transport pilots.
