A feasibility demonstration model of a fluidic thrust vector control (FTVC) system was designed, fabricated, and tested for pitch stabilization of ejection seats using the STAPAC vernier rocket. The control system includes a rate sensor, amplifier, attitude memory, and a position-controlled hydrofluidic servoactuator. The measured dynamic response of the control system closely matched the theoretical specifications for stable attitude control of the seat. The hardware was tested on a hydraulic rate table without rocket firing. (Author)
