While an aircraft experiences a damage, system parameters severely change depending on the damage location and quantity. The autopilot is not able to maintain the airplane control in case of considerable damage. A preliminary requirement for recoverability and survivability of an aircraft after the damage is a better understanding of its performance and flight envelope. In this paper, wing damaged airplane maneuvering flight envelope and stability properties inside the maneuvering flight envelope are investigated for different wing damages and at different altitudes. In addition, eigenvector analysis is utilized to demonstrate the effect of damage on motion modes, handling quality, and longitudinal and lateral-directional coupling. The overall above analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the wing damage effect on airplane performance and dynamics that is essential for flight durability and safe landing.
