MIL-F-8785C, Military Specification -- Flying Qualities of Piloted Airplanes, has been reformatted into a MIL Standard and a supporting MIL handbook. This report is a draft of the proposed MIL Standard, which has been developed by Systems Technology, Inc., with the McDonnell Aircraft Company acting in a consulting role. It is presented to industry and the United States armed forces for comments and proposed revisions. The responsibility for the legal MIL Standard and Handbook rests within the armed forces. This draft will be considered and form the basis for revisions, industry and government comments and a tri-service review in the process of developing the MIL Standard and Handbook. Suggested values and background information are contained in this volume. MIL-F-8785C and the backup documents to both it and its predecessor, MIL-F-8785B, were reviewed extensively. Much of the material contained therein is still considered to be valid and relevant and has been retained in this document. Prepared in cooperation with McDonnell Aircraft Co., St. Louis, MO.
