Aircraft Mission Simulation with the updated FlightDynamics Library

Kurzfassung

Aircraft mission simulation plays an essential role during the simulative design process of aircraft systems. An important task is to conduct analyses for total aircraft assemblies in different flight phases and also to produce performance metrics in Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) loops. Based on DLR's F LIGHTDYNAMICS, the library presented in this paper introduces mission simulation capability for aerial and on-ground movement. For instance, this includes flight control and management functions, a detailed aircraft implementation including several subsystems (for example landing gears, actuation and sensor systems), and the application of the integrated setup to realistic use-cases.
