| Abstract: | This paper presents a tilt-rotor flight simulation platform implementing a real-time simulation of the Bell XV-15 aircraft for teaching and research purposes. The mathematical model of the tilt-rotor aircraft is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink© including simplified models of aircraft dynamics, actuators, sensors, and Flight Control Computer. The implemented tilt-rotor mathematical model is interfaced with flight control hardware, i.e. a flight stick and a rudder pedal, used by the pilot to set input commands. Instead, the graphics environment is provided by FlightGear, an open-source and cross-platform software widely used in research activities. Another contribution of the paper is the design and implementation of a Stability Control and Augmentation System to enhance aircraft stability and improve handling qualities. The developed simulator is tested with several simulations validating the developed mathematical model and the effectiveness of the Stability Control and Augmentation System. The result is a tilt-rotor flight simulation platform executable on a commercial laptop with real-time performance for research and teaching activities. |
