Extract

Work has been carried out by Kutschera on how to assess, at the conceptual design stage, the performance of fighter aircraft. As part of this work, Kutschera reviewed a number of existing and proposed metrics for assessing aircraft performance. Reference 4 also describes how the performance of an aircraft can be quantified by three types of metric. The first type are steady state or point performance metrics, such as turn rate plots and energy manoeuvrability diagrams. The second type are manoeuvrability metrics and the last are agility metrics.
