Flight Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of Large Transport Airplanes in Upset Conditions
Date: May 8, 2007
Presented By: Mr. John Foster
Loss of control has been identified as a leading contributor to the
fatal accident rate for commercial aviation. As part of government and
industry efforts to reduce this type of accident, NASA research has been
in progress to develop tools for prediction of flight dynamics
characteristics of large transport airplanes in conditions beyond the
normal flight envelope. This research has involved extensive wind tunnel
testing and piloted simulation at stall and post-stall conditions, and
more recently the development of remotely-piloted vehicles and
computational fluid dynamics methods for diagnostic and validation
purposes. This presentation provides an overview of aerodynamic model
development, piloted simulation testing, discussion of pilot training
issues, and implications of these results for future aircraft control
system research and testing.
