The mathematical model and associated code to simulate a high speed civil transport aircraft - the Boeing Reference H configuration - are described. The simulation was constructed in support of advanced control law research. In addition to providing time histories of the dynamic response, the code includes the capabilities for calculating trim solutions and for generating linear models. The simulation relies on the nonlinear, six-degree-of-freedom equations which govern the motion of a rigid aircraft in atmospheric flight. The 1962 Standard Atmosphere Tables are used along with a turbulence model to simulate the Earth atmosphere. The aircraft model has three parts - an aerodynamic model, an engine model, and a mass model. These models use the data from the Boeing Reference H cycle 1 simulation data base. Models for the actuator dynamics, landing gear, and flight control system are not included in this aircraft model. Dynamic responses generated by the nonlinear simulation are presented and compared with results generated from alternate simulations at Boeing Commercial Aircraft Company and NASA Langley Research Center. Also, dynamic responses generated using linear models are presented and compared with dynamic responses generated using the nonlinear simulation.Sotack, Robert A. and Chowdhry, Rajiv S. and Buttrill, Carey S.Langley Research CenterSUPERSONIC TRANSPORTS; TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT; BOEING AIRCRAFT; CIVIL AVIATION; AIRCRAFT MODELS; MATHEMATICAL MODELS; COMPUTERIZED SIMULATION; ALGORITHMS; AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS; DYNAMIC RESPONSE; FLIGHT CONTROL; CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGN; LANDING GEAR; NONLINEAR EQUATIONS; EQUATIONS OF MOTION; UNSTEADY FLOW; STEADY FLOW...

The aircraft industry jointly with NASA is studying enabling technologies for higher speed, longer range aircraft configurations. Higher speeds, higher temperatures, and aerodynamics are driving these newer aircraft configurations towards long, slender, flexible fuselages. Aircraft response during ground operations, although often overlooked, is a concern due to the increased fuselage flexibility. This paper discusses modeling and simulation of the High Speed Civil Transport aircraft during taxiing, take-off, and landing. Finite element models of the airframe for various configurations are used and combined with nonlinear landing gear models to provide a simulation tool to study responses to different ground input conditions. A commercial computer simulation program is used to numerically integrate the equations of motion and to compute estimates of the responses using an existing runway profile. Results show aircraft responses exceeding safe acceptable human response levels.Reaves, Mercedes C. and Horta, Lucas G.Langley Research CenterAIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE; COMPUTERIZED SIMULATION; FINITE ELEMENT METHOD; LANDING SIMULATION; SUPERSONIC TRANSPORTS; TAKEOFF; TAXIING; AIRFIELD SURFACE MOVEMENTS; DYNAMIC RESPONSE; MATHEMATICAL MODELS; FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS; TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT; EQUATIONS OF MOTION; AIRCRAFT LANDING; COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT; LANDING GEAR; NUMERICAL INTEGRATION; VIBRATION MODE
