NEW! AIRCRAFT VIRTUAL FLIGHT TESTING AND CERTIFICATION IN OFF-NOMINAL MULTIFACTORIAL SITUATIONS Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of aircraft flight physics and control, testing and certification, as well as a familiarity with the system approach is required. It is recommended that the participant
The behavior of a ‘pilot-automaton-aircraft-operating environment’ system (the System) in off-nominal situations with multiple risks can be unpredictably dangerous. Most multifactorial flight scenarios (corner cases) are considered as theoretically improbable. Such anomalies do nonetheless occur in operations and can lead to inconceivable accidents - ‘black swan’ events. This intensive educational course introduces the audience to the technology of aircraft virtual flight testing and certification (VFTС) for safety, considering the cross-coupling effects of various combinations of heterogeneous risk factors characteristic to the four components of the System. The seminar begins by formalizing the task of predicting aircraft flight safety in multifactorial situations during the lifecycle. An introduction is given to the technology that allows for easing the ‘curse of dimensionality’ of this task, increasing the volume and accuracy of the System- level safety knowledge, and cutting budget and time of classic flight test and certification. The technology includes a high-fidelity mathematical model of the System dynamics, a software for autonomous fast-time computer experimentation with the model, automatic mining and mapping of safety knowledge for parallel analysis of large trees of off-nominal multifactorial ‘what-if’ situations. The workshop concludes with examples of the technology applications to support various phases of the lifecycle for several aircraft types and design projects. It is demonstrated how VFTC can complement classical techniques of flight research for safety. Advantages, benefits, limitations and pitfalls of the VFTC technology are summarized for next generation aircraft. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course has been tailored for engineers and others involved in aircraft aerodynamics, flight controls, powerplant, undercarriage, safety avionics, flight simulators, pilot-aircraft interface, and pilot cognitive aids.
