CIFER ® offers a utility for analyzing b<strong>and</strong>width <strong>and</strong> crossover properties of frequency responses.<br />

Use of the h<strong>and</strong>ling qualities portion of the B<strong>and</strong>width utility allows identification of –180-degree<br />

<strong>and</strong> –135-degree b<strong>and</strong>width frequencies <strong>and</strong> gains. Table 4.7 shows the –135-degree b<strong>and</strong>width<br />

frequencies for the main on-axis responses in flight <strong>and</strong> simulation. The attitude b<strong>and</strong>widths were<br />

determined by integrating the corresponding rate response.<br />

Table 4.7: -135-Degree B<strong>and</strong>width Frequencies<br />

Flight: Sim:<br />

PHI/AIL 2.75 2.33<br />

THETA/ELE 5.86 4.27<br />

PSI/RUD 2.32 2.39<br />

PSI/WHL 2.62 3.78<br />

BETA/WHL 1.53 none<br />

These results compare reasonably well between flight <strong>and</strong> simulation. As the cutoff frequency can<br />

be indicative of the b<strong>and</strong>width frequency it is useful to show comparisons between the two.<br />

Figures 4.26 through 4.28 show these comparisons for each axis on the attitude response for the<br />

aircraft. The results for the roll <strong>and</strong> pitch axes as well as the yaw flight data compare reasonably<br />

well. The cutoff <strong>and</strong> b<strong>and</strong>width frequencies for the yaw simulation data do not compare as well,<br />

which likely is a result of the differing output autospectra.<br />
