A systematic investigation of the lateral handling qualtities of fighter aircraft on an en route IFR mission was made in a fixed-base ground simulator. The suitability of a wide range of roll and spiral mode root locations was examined with particular emphasis placed upon determining the effects of complex rollspiral roots. The complex roll-spiral roots were produced with several feasible combinations of stability derivatives. Interaction effects of the Dutch roll mode roots were examined, including the effects of the proximity of these roots to the complex roll-spiral mode roots. Assessment of the flying qualities is reported in terms of the evaluation comments and ratings given by two pilots. In general the complex roll-spiral configurations that were evaluated were too difficult to control in roll to consider their handling quality characteristics as acceptable for fighter aircraft.
