а) improvement of pilot rating :
without automation PR = 8,
with developed means PR = 4 – 5
б) improvement of accuracy (variance of longitudinal error) in 15 times

• Low Reynolds numbers peculiarities in aerodynamics.
• unusual dynamic response:
– instantaneous change of moments and quick change of forces
