Hi Steve Havlir,
..
So, with this actual flight model you have to think a lot more "in
advance" compared to a helicopter (where you also have to think in
advance) due to the big! delay to power-setting and steering commands.
Actually, I do not have any detailled information about the Harrier. So
some recherche has to be done. Ie. is vertical thrust regulated by
turbine-power-setting (would be very critical) or exhaust regulation
(some form of bleedair regulation). How are the procedures to fly, etc.
I have to add some further remarks
1. found *part* of my question ("steering") in the harrier.xml
<!--
Harriers have little "reactor" jets to change the aircraft's
orientation during hover. I've been unable to find a good
reference for where these are, exactly. I've chosen to put the
pitch and yaw jets in the tail, and the roll jets point down from
the wingtips. This makes logical sense, but I'd be pleased if
anyone can find better info.
-->
2. When flying the Harrier in clean configuration I was asthonished that
using the rudder to the *left* the aircraft rolls to the *right* and
vice versa. I would have expected a roll to the *left* as all these
"little jets" for hovering should be switched off.
Is there any possibility to correct this wrong(?) behaviour in one of
these *.xml files?
