Rotorcraft Certification by Simulation

Project description

Virtual flight real enough for certification!

Aerospace design, prototyping and testing are time-consuming and expensive processes. Incorporating virtual simulations into some of these key steps, rather than producing and testing actual aircraft, is an important way to expedite the roll-out of improved, or in some cases radically new, components and systems while reducing costs. The EU-funded RoCS project, as part of the fast-rotorcraft platform under the Clean Sky2 programme, is making that possible with a virtual flight simulation environment for the EU's future rotorcraft. The bar is high, targeting a quality level that enables enhancements in safety and performance, reduces environmental footprint and satisfies the requirements of certifying authorities without the need to fly an aircraft.

Objective

This proposal answers the call JTI-CS2-2018-CfP08-FRC-01-19 on Certification by Simulation for Rotorcraft Flight Aspects. The aim is to define a virtual engineering flight simulation process for the generation of evidence for certification of rotorcraft.
The objective is to establish, in collaboration with industry and regulators, the characteristics that a virtual flight simulation environment must have to be adequate to demonstrate compliance with airworthiness standards, in a safer, more economical and more effective way than that which could be achieved through current flight test procedures.
The challenge is to develop, in agreement with the regulatory authority, guidelines that define the part of the certification basis that could be substituted or complemented by flight simulation, as well as the metrics and methodology to assess simulation model and flight simulator cueing fidelity.
