Overview

Flight behavior as a simulation-ready model

OEM-independent flight models for simulators. Flight Dynamic Models reproduce the dynamic behavior of a helicopter in simulation. They combine flight behavior, subsystems and avionics into one model that can be used in Full Flight Simulators and Flight Training Devices.

The challenge

OEM flight models are often expensive and not always available in the form required. Simulator manufacturers and system integrators therefore need models that fit the aircraft, the existing system architecture and the planned qualification target.

The solution

REISER develops OEM-independent Flight Dynamic Models including the required subsystems and avionics models. The models are based on our own data and can be integrated into existing or new simulator solutions on a project-specific basis.

FAQ

Typical questions about Flight Dynamic Models.

Which helicopter types are Flight Dynamic Models available for?

Flight Dynamic Models are available for the H125, H135 T3H, H145 D2 and H145 D3. The exact scope of qualification is confirmed on a project basis and depends on the model, the platform and the overall system configuration.

Are the Flight Dynamic Models OEM-independent?

Yes. REISER develops OEM-independent Flight Dynamic Models and adapts them to the requirements of the respective simulator platform and system architecture.

Can the Flight Dynamic Models be qualified up to FFS Level D?

The Flight Dynamic Models can be part of an overall system that is qualifiable up to FFS Level D. The qualification actually achievable depends on the data scope, the model, the simulator platform, the overall system configuration and the applicable qualification requirements.

Which systems are modeled besides flight mechanics?

Depending on the configuration, the engine, hydraulics, electrical system, fuel, lighting, navigation, sound, environmental conditions and avionics can be included, among others. The exact scope is defined on the basis of the required training and qualification profile.

Which avionics are simulated?

The avionics are implemented type-specifically. For the H145 D3, Helionix functions, multi-function displays, HTAWS, ACAS, Synthetic Vision and EuroNav 7 can be part of the simulation, among others. Which functions are integrated depends on the agreed configuration.

Can the Flight Dynamic Models be integrated into existing simulators?

Yes. Integration is planned on the basis of the existing interfaces, the simulator architecture and the connected systems. These can include the cockpit, control loading, visuals, motion, cueing and avionics.

What data is needed for development?

The data required depends on the type, the model fidelity, the scope of training and the qualification target. Depending on the project, REISER can use its own data and flight test data or include customer data in development and validation.

Does REISER also develop customer-specific models?

Yes. Existing model variants can be adapted to the requirements of the target platform. For new or differing configurations, the effort, data requirements, interfaces and development scope are assessed within the project.
