Abstract
Flight research for the F-15 HIDEC (Highly Integrated Digital Electronic Control) program was completed at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in the fall of 1993. The flight research conducted during the last two years of the HIDEC program included two principal experiments: (1) Performance Seeking Control (PSC); an adaptive, real-time, on-board optimization of engine, inlet, and horizontal tail position on the F-15, and (2) Propulsion Controlled Aircraft (PCA); an augmented flight control system developed for landings as well as up-and-away flight that used only engine thrust (flight controls locked) for flight control. In September 1994, the background details and results of the PSC and PCA experiments were presented in an electronic workshop. An overview paper that summarized the experiments conducted on the Dryden F-15 airplane during the last 12 years of the F-15 flight research program was also included. The PCA session also included four videos that showed a Manual Throttles-Only Approach; the First PCA-Controlled Landing; an Upset, PCA Recovery and Descent; and a PCA Final Approach. After September, the workshop, including questions and responses, was available as an archived workshop accessible through the Dryden World Wide Web (WWW) home page and as a compact disk (CD).
