FUNCTIONAL MOCK-UP TESTS OF THE FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE NAL (NATIONAL AEROSPACE LABORATORY) QSTOL RESEARCH AIRCRAFT: PLANNING AND MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST

The control system of the National Aerospace Laboratory Quiet-STOL Research Aircraft has a mechanical control system and a triplex digital Stability and Control Augmentation System (SCAS). The mechanical system is responsible for the safety control system, while the digital SCAS system was to be evaluated through experiments. Functional mock-up tests were carried out to check safety and performance of the total plan for the functional mock-up test are described as the fundamental process to ensure minimum safety requirements of the system component matching. The static and dynamic characteristics of the mechanical control system showed good agreement with the specifications of the Japanese Airworthiness Standards (equivalent to FAR25) and MIL.
