PILOT'S CG LOCATION AND ATTITUDE CONTROL FOR LATERAL MANEUVER OF A HANG GLIDER

Y. Ochi, National Defense Academy, Japan

This paper proposes attitude control of a hang glider pilot who shifts his/her CG location for lateral maneuver. By embedding this control in the dynamic model of a hang glider proposed by the author, lateral-directional motion done by a human pilot will be reproduced by the dynamic model.
