The article "Aircraft Handling Qualities: Optimization of the Selection Process for Fighter Aircraft for Air Superiority" discusses the importance of handling qualities in the selection of fighter aircraft to ensure the Brazilian Air Force's (FAB) air superiority. The author, Fabio Andrade de Almeida, explores the evolution of pilot evaluation criteria, emphasizing the need for an objective methodology that minimizes subjectivity in decision-making. The text also highlights challenges faced by aircraft like the JAS-39 Gripen during its development, stressing the significance of well-trained pilots and aircraft with good handling qualities for successful air missions.
