Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00588, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Chung, Joon (Ryerson University), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : The main objective of the proposed research project is the development of the FDM and flight simulation for_x000D_
Airvinci's rotorcraft. It consists of the three main components: The first component is the development of FDM_x000D_
for rotor motions. Wind tunnel and flight tests are beyond the scope of this project. For this reason, this project_x000D_
will employ the numerical methods such as the blade-element formulation, Pitt-Peters dynamics inflow model,_x000D_
and powertrain model. These methods are generally utilized to develop the rotorcraft FDM. The blade-element_x000D_
formulation subdivides each rotor into segments, and the local airspeed and angle of attack are determined for_x000D_
each element. Then these results are used to determine the aerodynamic forces of the main rotor. The_x000D_
Pitt-Peters dynamic inflow model will determine the total airflow of the rotorcraft and the powertrain model_x000D_
with engine dynamics model will determine the rotor rotational speed. The second component is the_x000D_
development of FDM for the fuselage and control surfaces. The rigid-body 6 Degree-of-Freedom (DOF)_x000D_
equations and aerodynamics models will be employed to develop the dynamic model of the fuselage and_x000D_
control surfaces. The Center of Gravity (CG) location will be derived from the geometry and materials._x000D_
Aerodynamics forces and moments for the fuselage and control surfaces will be determined from numerical_x000D_
equations. The third component is the implementation of mathematical models of the rotorcraft into JSBSim._x000D_
The FDM is then combined with FlightGear to develop the dedicated simulation of the Airvinci's rotorcraft and_x000D_
its performance over a range of environments. The development of visual simulation entails 3D models of the_x000D_
rotorcraft to be used with Blender (www.blender.org) which is an open source 3D modeling software. Blender_x000D_
is compatible with FlightGear and it can import and export various types of 3D models. The developed FDM_x000D_
will be updated from the feedback of the flight test on the developed simulation., program purpose french : The main objective of the proposed research project is the development of the FDM and flight simulation for_x000D_
