“…On the other hand utilising freely flying models is a highly effective method for the investigation of the flight dynamics of an aircraft with partial FCS failures and certain control surface damage. Dynamically similar freely flying models (DSM) have been utilised in practice in all steps of the process of generation of a new aircraft, for which basic data and performances completely differ from previous designs (1,2,3) . This method has considerable advantages: Firstly, is the unlimited space that surrounds the model (it excludes the interference between the walls and boundary layer of the flow inside a wind tunnel).…”

This article deals with a damage simulation of flight control systems during a flight. As a subject of flight tests the model of a classic aerodynamic aircraft scheme is considered. This aircraft has highly swept wings a moderate wing elongation and all-moving horizontal tail surfaces. The diagrams of flight parameters from flight tests of the freely flying models with loss of a control surface in flight are given. The investigation results for the failures leading to a sharp drop in the stiffness of the control units in the pitch channel are given. The damage investigation in horizontal flight and in complex manoeuvres is given.
