本文回顾了利物浦大学开展的一些研究，其中飞行科学和技术研究小组开发了HeliFlight-R全运动研究模拟器，为海上直升机的发射和回收创造了一个模拟环境。HELIFLIGHT-R已被用于进行飞行试验，以产生模拟的舰船-直升机操作极限(SHOL)。这种虚拟工程方法使人们更好地了解了舰船和直升机之间的动态界面如何影响飞行员的工作量和飞机的操纵质量，并将为未来现实世界SHOL试验的进行提供信息。文中还描述了如何将建模和仿真应用于舰船上层建筑的设计，以改善直升机必须运行的气动流场。上层建筑空气动力还影响着舰船风速表的放置和舰船热废气的扩散，这两个因素都会影响直升机的操作包线，这两个问题都可以通过仿真来研究。
This paper reviews some of the research that has been carried out at the University of Liverpool where the Flight Science and Technology Research Group has developed its Heliflight-R full-motion research simulator to create a simulation environment for the launch and recovery of maritime helicopters to ships. HELIFLIGHT-R has been used to conduct flight trials to produce simulated Ship-Helicopter Operating Limits (SHOLs). This virtual engineering approach has led to a much greater understanding of how the dynamic interface between the ship and the helicopter contributes to the pilot's workload and the aircraft's handling qualities and will inform the conduct of future real-world SHOL trials. The paper also describes how modelling and simulation has been applied to the design of a ship's superstructure to improve the aerodynamic flow field in which the helicopter has to operate. The superstructure aerodynamics also affects the placement of the ship's anemometers and the dispersion of the ship's hot exhaust gases, both of which affect the operational envelope of the helicopter, and both of which can be investigated through simulation.
