Model. - The airframe used in the analysis and flight test described
herein was an all-metal missile research model. A sketch of the
configuration and some physical properties are shown In figure 1. A
photograph of the configuration is included, as figure 2. The canard
fins were fixed, and the wing-tip ailerons, figure 1(b), were movable.
One pair of ailerons was used for control, being connected to the auto-
pilot through a mechanical linkage. The other pair of ailerons was
connected to a large solenoid through a spring return and differential
linkage and was pulsed In a square-wave pattern to provide roll
disturbances in flight.

rolling moment available from the control ailerons was not exceeded by
out-of--trim and applied roll disturbances. The autopilot, shown in
figure 3, consisted of a position gyroscope with two degrees of gimbal
freedom (directly connected to the control ailerons through a slotted
cam and rider) and an electric torque motor. The cam was arranged so
that in the usable control range the lift of the cam caused the aileron
deflection to be proportional to the roll angle and in such a direction
as to return the airframe to a roll angle corresponding to the center
of the usable control range. Through this control range the autopilot
operation is described by the equation 8a = -Kcp, where K is a
proportionality factor and the minus sign denotes corrective control.

confirmed this surmise. During the flight the actual hinge moments
from the wing-tip ailerons were small so that no quantitative measure
of hinge moment could be obtained. It was noted from the telemeter
record, however, that the hinge moment is very low in the speed region
of M = 1.38 and increases as the velocity decreases.

ANALYTICAL METHODS
cp1 I a I To
E Autopilot L Airframe
The autopilot initial design fixed the control gearing ratio at 1.0.
When the combined autopilot-airframe frequency response was plotted as a
Nyquist diagram it was found that, although stable, the amount of phase

margin (reference 14) was insufficient, this fact indicating a very oscil-
latory system transient response. The control gearing ratio was then
reduced to 0.6; the resulting Nyquist diagram, shown in figure 12, had a
satisfactory phase margin and indicated an improved transient response.
As a final check the system transient response to a step input of
aileron deflection was calculated by the method of reference 2, which,
in this case, produced the somewhat erratic transient curve shown in
figure 13.
