Abstract:
This paper describes the use of mathematical modelling within secondary flight control systems for commercial aircraft. The modelling process is described from generation of model requirements, model management through to model validation. The paper describes an example of a parametrised high-lift system model developed in Simulink. Analyses of the model outputs are provided and a sensitivity analysis is performed on a selected design parameter. This work highlights the advantages of integrated modelling to support the conceptual design phase within the lifecycle system design process.
