People have been fascinated by bird flight for centuries, but exactly how birds can be so agile in the air remains mysterious. A new study uses modeling and aerodynamics to describe how gulls can ...

Aerodynamic modelling and flight testing remain at the forefront of aircraft design and verification, providing the essential linkage between computational simulations and real-world performance.

MAECOsim® implies a variety of disciplines such as flight mechanics, structural dynamics incl. multi-body simulation, aerodynamics, etc. and is designed for a wide range of accuracy for e.g.

The aerodynamic load calculated by the flight dynamics model is applied to the rudder actuator with the aid of a loading device. The feedback of the current rudder position and rate to the flight ...
