What we do know is that the harrier replacement (JSF) will incorporate innovations to reduce v-stol pilot workload currently under development here in the UK. A Harrier prototype has been fitted with fly-by-wire controls and a flight management computor capable of practically landing the plane automatically - the most dangerous regime of v-stol flight. Controlling parameters like nozzle angle, thrust, pitch, speed, landing gear etc the computor can land the aircraft from approach configuration with one button push from the pilot. Maybe this kind of thinking could be applied to the V-22? When the V-22 Osprey is landing combat grunts on a hot LZ, do you really want a computer landing the aircraft slowly and safely? If not, how and when do you train the pilot to land quickly under those circumstances? |
