AAM Flight Dynamics And Performance Skills

了解飞行物理学对于每一架飞机的成功设计都是至关重要的。目前，有750多架先进空中机动（AAM）飞机的概念，但还没有一架投入使用。诺丁汉大学（UoN）将开设一门先进的AAM飞机飞行物理学（即飞行动力学和飞行性能）课程，以应对上述挑战。该课程将主要作为UoN航空航天工程学生的高级本科课程提供。它还将作为行业和感兴趣的利益相关者的持续专业发展（CPD）课程提供。该课程将包括讲座，研讨会和飞行模拟器课程，并将以电动垂直起降（eVTOL）飞机建模为基础。该课程的突出部分将是在UoN Alsim 250飞行模拟器中进行eVTOL飞机的驾驶模拟试验。这项活动将提供一种现实感，并更好地了解对eVTOL飞机的各种修改如何影响飞行员的感知和飞机性能。经验丰富的UoN学者团队将开发一套讲座，内容包括：1）eVTOL飞机的飞行物理学; 2）各种新型系统（例如电力推进）对飞行和操纵品质的影响3）建模和仿真技术，使课程参与者能够创建和/或调整数字eVTOL模型，以满足他们的需求。每个讲座将由一个实际的研讨会，围绕一个案例研究，使用基于问题的学习支持。最后，飞行模拟器课程将通过允许课程参与者在飞行模拟器中驾驶eVTOL飞机来提供体验式学习。这一学习周期将确保每个参与者获得最佳学习体验。作为该项目的一部分，基于MATLAB/Simulink的eVTOL飞机模型将被编程到飞行模拟器中。这将是对课程的补充。这也将在英国创建一个最先进的eVTOL研究和模拟平台，进一步加强UoN的飞行相关研究活动，并在飞行物理的关键领域发展技能管道和行业支持。

Understanding the flight physics is paramount for success of every aircraft design. Currently, there are 750+ concepts of advance air mobility (AAM) aircraft, but none of them has been deployed into service yet. This is due to the lack of flight physics knowledge among AAM community, hence resulting in continuous postponement of their deployment.The University of Nottingham (UoN) will create and deliver an advanced course on flight physics, i.e. flight dynamics and flight performance, of AAM aircraft to address the above challenge. The course will be primarily delivered as an advanced undergraduate course for the Aerospace engineering students at UoN. It will also be delivered as a continuous professional development (CPD) course for industry and interested stakeholders.The course will consist of lectures, seminars and flight simulator sessions, and will be based on modelling electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The outstanding component of the course will be piloted simulation trials of the eVTOL aircraft in the UoN Alsim 250 flight simulator. This activity will provide a sense of reality and a better understanding of how various modifications to an eVTOL aircraft impact pilot perception and aircraft performance.The team of experienced UoN academics will develop a set of lectures that will cover: 1) flight physics of eVTOL aircraft, 2) impact of various novel systems, e.g. electric propulsion, on flying and handling qualities (pilot perception) of eVTOL aircraft, and 3) modelling and simulation techniques enabling course participants to create and/or adjust numerical eVTOL models to their needs. Each lecture will be supported by a practical seminar, built around a case study using a problem-based learning. Finally, the flight simulator sessions will provide experiential learning by allowing course participants to pilot eVTOL aircraft in the flight simulator. This learning cycle will ensure the best learning experience for each participant. As part of the project, the MATLAB/Simulink-based eVTOL aircraft model will be programmed into the flight simulator. Primarily this will supplement the course. This will also create a state-of-the-art eVTOL research and simulation platform in the UK that will further enhance UoN's flight-related research activities, as well as developing the skills pipeline and industry support in the critical field of flight physics.
