Abstract

This paper reviews the combat survivability and supermaneuverbility which are principal factors in current and future high performance combat aircraft design. First of all, the fighter agility evaluation factors were presented. And then, emphasis was put on technologies associated with supermaneuverbility, such as vortex lift, high angle of attack aerodynamics, thrust vectoring and control system technologies that integrate each technology. The advanced nations' supermaneuverbility R/D programs were introduced as well.

Key Words: Supermaneuverbility, Combat Survivability, Vortex Lift, High Angle of Attack Aerodynamics, Thrust Vectoring
