Abstract	Feel systems represent very important elements of airplane design in that they are the man-machine interface in manual flight. At the same time, their detailed specification has not received much attention in either civilian certification regulations or military standards. Boeing has recently undertaken joint collaborative research with a team at the Central Aero- Hydro-dynamic Institute of Russia to define optimum and flying qualities level boundaries for various feel system parameters. This work was done in the presence of typical large jet transport aircraft characteristics, typical of modern wide-body aircraft. The work consisted of development of a theoretical basis for pilots’ selection of optimum, desired, and adequate characteristics. This construct was then validated by and populated with results from large scale pilot-in-the-loop simulation experiments, conducted both in the US and in Russia by both Boeing and Russian test pilots. The results indicate that the theoretical basis is sound. This paper reviews the constructs, discusses the experiment designs, and reviews the results.
