An in-flight simulation to investigate minimum longitudinal stability for large delta-wing transports in landing approach and touchdown (including ground effect) was conducted using the USAF/Calspan Total In-Flight Simulator (TIFS) airplane. The airplane nonlinear equations of motion, as well as the representation of the engine characteristics and the control system used in this in-flight investigation are presented. Details of the simulation or representative piloting tasks for the landing approach (e.g., artificial crosswind landing) are described. Detailed pilot comments, touchdown parameters, measures of turbulence and pilot workload obtained during the in-flight evaluation are included in this report. (Modified author abstract)
