INTRODUCTION
This issue of Aeronautical Engineering - A Continuing Bibliography (NASA SP-7037) lists 429
reports, journal articles and other documents originally announced in March 1988 in Scientific and
Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA).
The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, construc-
tion, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines) and as-
sociated components, equipment, and systems. It also includes research and development in
aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles.
Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied in most
cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged by the first nine STAR specific categories
and the remaining STAR major categories. This arrangement offers the user the most advantageous
breakdown for individual objectives. The citations include the original accession numbers from the
respective announcement journals. The IAA items will precede the STAR items within each category
Seven indexes -- subject, personal author, corporate source, foreign technology, contract number,
report number, and accession number -- are included.
An annual cummulative index will be published.
Information on the availability of cited publications including addresses of organizations and NTIS
price schedules is located at the back of this bibliography.

The Highly Manueverable Aircraft Technology (HiMAT) program
consisted of design, fabrication of two subscale remotely piloted
research vehicles (RPRVs), and flight test. This technical
memorandum describes the vehicles and -test approach. An
overview of the flight test results and comparisons with the design
predictions are presented. These comparisons are made on a
single-discipline basis, so that aerodynamics, structures, flight
controls, and propulsion controls are examined one by one. The
interactions between the disciplines'are then examined, with the
conclusions that the integration of the various technologies
contributed to total vehicle performance- gains. An assessment is
made of the subscale RPRV approach from the standpoint of
research data quality and quantity, unmanned effects as compared
with manned vehicles, complexity, and cost. It is concluded that
the RPRV technique, as adopted in this program, resulted in a
more complex and costly vehicle than expected but is reasonable
when compared with alternate ways of obtaining comparable
results. Author

English, refs
Reduced-order controllers for active flutter suppression of a
two-dimensional airfoil are studied using two design approaches.
One is based on the generalized Hessenberg representation (GHR)
in the time domain, and the other, called the Nyquist frequency
approximation (NFA), is a method in the frequency domain. In the
NFA method, the reduced-order controllers are designed so that
the stability margin of the Nyquist plot may be increased over a
specific frequency range. To illustrate and to make a comparison
between the two methods, numerical simulations are carried out
using a thirteenth-order controlled plant. It is to be noted that the
GHR method can yield quasi-optimal controllers in the sense of
minimizing quadratic performance indices. The designed controllers,
however, do not have enough stability margin, and the order
reduction resulting from full state controllers may not be
satisfactory. On the other hand, reduced-order controllers irt.the
NFA method can be designed with increased stability margin at
the expense of the performance index. For all simulation cases,
the NFA method yields second-order controllers with a better
stability margin than those by the GHR method. Thus, the NFA
method provides an effective method for synthesizing robust
reduced-order controllers. Author
