Abstract
In this chapter, criteria for handling qualities of transport aircraft with closed-loop flight control systems are dealt with. The relations between existing criteria and those proposed in this study are discussed in detail. The criteria considered are restricted to longitudinal manoeuvring during low-speed flight, including flare and touchdown.
