Popis: The sensitivity of predetermined maneuvers characteristic of close-in air combat has been studied to clarify the accuracy requirements for aircraft modeling. Nine dynamic maneuvers were calculated using an improved version of the AML-75 air combat simulator, where six parameters of a fighter model were systematically varied. Additional steady-state performance calculations were conducted to facilitate the generalization of the findings, according to which aircraft weight is the most important factor. Maximum lift, thrust and drag are also of importance, but roll performance is secondary.
