This study proposes a new approach to creating a virtual flight test environment by integrating a digital twin of an iron bird test rig with an engineering flight simulator. Generating digital twins for test rigs in aviation is a rare and innovative approach. The engineering flight simulator used in this study incorporates real hands-on throttle an...

View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2022-3629.vid The rapid development and integration of technology mean that customer needs also change rapidly. Also, this change is proceeding in the same way in every industry field. Making use of Digital Technologies is one of the biggest investments of companies to produce the best for customer...

Airborne systems are becoming more and more complex, making it harder to meet the volatile requirements of complex systems or sub-systems. Test infrastructures are inevitably inheriting product complexity. Iron bird test rigs need real actuators, hydraulic pumps, piping, loading systems which make their development and operation resource intensive....

Avionics, like any other safety-critical real-time systems, pose unique challenges on system design, development, and testing. Specifically, the rigorous certification process mandated for avionics software calls for additional attention. The DO-178C Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification provides detailed guideline...

Model-Based Design (MBD) enables iterative design practices and boosts the agility of the air vehicle development programs. Flight simulators are extensively employed in these programs for evaluating the handling qualities of the designed platforms. In order to keep up with the agility provided by the MBD, integration of the air vehicle models in f...
