A traditional representation of aerodynamic characteristics based on the concept of aerodynamic
derivatives becomes inadequate at high angles of attack due to significant dynamic
effects generated by separated and vortical flow. The main difficulty in an application of
aerodynamic derivatives at these conditions is linked with their strong dependence on frequency
and amplitude of oscillations. To describe these dependencies the mathematical
model for aerodynamic characteristics in the time domain should be dynamic and nonlinear.
To capture frequency effects the lateral/directional aerodynamic characteristics are represented
in the form of differential equations and applied for the open- and closed-loop
dynamic analysis. It is demonstrated that the results of the open-loop stability analysis for the conventional aerodynamic derivatives based model and unsteady aerodynamic model at some angles of attack can differ significantly. Control law design issues with combination of aerodynamic and thrust vectoring control are also discussed considering
linear and nonlinear problem formulation.
