Upset recovery simulation

通用和商业航空事故的一个主要原因是飞机意外倾覆导致的失控(LOC)。飞机翻转是指飞行中的飞机无意中超过了正常操作或训练中所经历的参数。有许多不同的原因导致飞机颠覆，如环境、飞机或飞行员。为了应对失控后的LOC，航空公司在培训日程上增加了失控的恢复。这种训练通常包括某种陆基飞行模拟器训练。在训练期间，模拟飞机被置于不寻常的态度中，飞行员练习建议的回收程序。不幸的是，目前的商用飞行模拟器不能准确地描绘出飞机在这些关键颠覆过程中的行为和运动，因此培训的价值值得怀疑。事实上，人们担心模拟器的保真度不高可能会导致消极的培训。这项建议的研究旨在了解地面模拟飞机颠覆和回收的要求，并开发模拟器软件，以提高飞机颠覆期间飞行模拟器的逼真度。

A leading cause of general and commercial aviation accidents is Loss-of-Control (LOC) resulting from an unexpected aircraft upset. Aircraft upset is when an airplane in flight unintentionally exceeds the parameters experienced in normal operations or training. There are a number of different causes of aircraft upsets such as the environment, the aircraft, or the pilot. In an attempt to address the LOC following an upset, airlines have added upset recovery to their training agenda. This training usually includes some kind of ground-based flight simulator training. During the training the simulated aircraft is put into unusual attitudes and the pilot practices the recommended recovery procedures. Unfortunately, current commercial flight simulators do not accurately portray the aircraft behavior and motions during these critical upsets, the training is therefore of questionable value. In fact, there is concern there may be negative training resulting from the poor fidelity of the simulators. The research in this proposal seeks to understand the requirements for ground-based simulation of aircraft upset and recovery, and to develop simulator software to increase the fidelity of flight simulators during aircraft upsets.
