NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) 19930094833: Determination of the Maximum Control Forces and Attainable Quickness in the Operation of Airplane Controls
Author: NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)
Year: 1930
This report is intended to furnish bases for load assumptions in the designing of airplane controls. The maximum control forces and quickness of operation are determined. The maximum forces for a strong pilot with normal arrangement of the controls is taken as 1.25 times the mean value obtained from tests with twelve persons. Tests with a number of persons were expected to show the maximum forces that a man of average strength can exert on the control stick in operating the elevator and ailerons and also on the rudder bar. The effect of fatigue, of duration and of the nature (static or dynamic) of the force, as also the condition of the test subject (with or without belt) were also considered.
