In accordance with AGARD recommendations for handling qualities in hovering flight control power and control thrust requirements for aircraft gross weights between 1 and 100 tons are estimated using statistical data for moments of inertia; results are compared with analysis of aircraft motions following disturbances and control inputs and with maneuver capability; effects of damping, dead time, gust level, etc, are investigated and some control system design criteria are obtained.
