Abstract
In hypersonic flight, there are unique aircraft dynamics and flying qualities properties which substantially differ from the characteristics of vehicles in the conventional speed regime. Longitudinal stability and control problems are considered, with particular emphasis put on long-term dynamics. This concerns inherent dynamics properties in regard to the modes of motion as well as flight path control. Results from flight tests and simulation experiments are presented.
