Suppose a set of p agile maneuvers is executed and measured N1 times on an aircraft of one type, and N2 times on an aircraft of another type. Based on these agility measurements, the paper shows how to calculate a generalized Mahalanobis agility distance between the two aircraft. If there are more than two types of aircraft, the agility distance between each pair can be calculated and compared.
