Flight Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of a Damaged Transport Aircraft

A study was undertaken at NASA Langley Research Center to establish, demonstrate, and apply methodology for modeling and implementing the aerodynamic effects of MANPADS damage to a transport aircraft into real-time flight simulation, and to demonstrate a preliminary capability of using such a simulation to conduct an assessment of aircraft survivability. Key findings from this study include: su...

Modeling, simulation and analysis of a multi degree of freedom aircraft wing model

This paper presented methods to determine the aerodynamic forces that acton an aircraft wing during flight. These methods are initially proposed for asimplified two degree-of-freedoms airfoil model and then are extensivelyapplied for a multi-degree-of-freedom airfoil system. Different airspeedconditions are considered in establishing such methods. The accuracy of thepresented methods is verifie...

Modeling and Identification of Fighter Aircraft Nonlinear Flight Dynamics, by Using Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

In this paper, a new approach has been proposed to identify and model the dynamics of a highly maneuverable aircraft through fuzzy logic algorithm. In general, aircraft flight dynamics is considered as a nonlinear and coupled system whose modeling through fuzzy logic algorithm can be done using a few experimental flight tests data. In this study, for identification and modeling of the aircraft ...

Flight Dynamics and Control of a Vertical Tailless Aircraft

In the field of aeronautics, shape morphing has been used to identify those aircraft that undergo substantial geometrical changes in their external shape to enhance or adapt to their mission profiles during flight. This creates superior system capabilities not possible without morphing shape changes. The objective of morphing concepts is to develop high performance aircraft with lifting surface...
