Dynamics simulation model for the analysis of aircraft movement characteristics on an aircraft carrier deck

Aircraft on an aircraft carrier deck are taxied or towed using a tractor. As these vehicles move within a limited area and are affected by the aircraft carrier motion, the possibility of aircraft movement in the entire space must be confirmed. The potential aircraft movements can be determined using...

Description
Summary:Aircraft on an aircraft carrier deck are taxied or towed using a tractor. As these vehicles move within a limited area and are affected by the aircraft carrier motion, the possibility of aircraft movement in the entire space must be confirmed. The potential aircraft movements can be determined using simulations, wherein the movement characteristics of the aircraft must be analyzed by considering the movement of the carrier. Therefore, an aircraft dynamics simulation model considering the six-degrees-of-freedom movement of the platform is presented in this study to analyze the aircraft movement characteristics on the deck. The proposed model was verified using various reference data and models, and the simulation results of the multi-body dynamics analysis program DAFUL were employed to estimate the tire stiffness coefficient according to the slope. The proposed model facilitated the analysis of the movement characteristics of the aircraft by implementing driving simulations for various platform movements.
