Abstract:This paper presents the validation of a Level-D rotorcraft simulation framework by comparing different quantitative model fidelity metrics. The simulation framework uses a non-linear blade element rotor model to simulate the flight dynamics of rotorcrafts with accurate stability and control characteristics identified from system identification techniques. For this study, frequency-domain system identification is used to generate linear state-space 6-DoF quasi-steady models and an automated process is used to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
