Building Credible VTOL Flight Models for Handling Quality Certification by Simulation by Lorenzo Favaro, Agata Rylko, Giuseppe Quaranta

“…Applied to a lift + cruise VTOL model performing a deceleration-to-hover manoeuvre, the study demonstrates that while longitudinal control dynamics largely remained within MUAD limits, indicating the model’s credibility for those aspects, vertical axis dynamics coupled with longitudinal inputs for some uncertain configurations exceeded these limits, correlating with observed flight test performance variability. Readers will find a structured, quantitative approach to model validation for HQ certification by simulation, leveraging MUAD to determine if a nominal model is sufficiently representative for certification, thereby supporting safer and more efficient VTOL development.…”
