AbstractFor a broad range of applications, flight mechanics simulator models have to accurately predict the aircraft dynamics. However, the development and improvement of such models is a difficult and time consuming process. This is especially true for helicopters. In this paper, two rapidly applicable and implementable methods to derive linear input filters that improve the simulator model are presented. The first method is based on model inversion, the second on feedback control. Both methods are evaluated in the time domain, compared to recorded helicopter flight test data, and assessed based on root mean square errors and the Qualification Test Guide bounds. The best results were achieved when using the first method.

In this paper, a complex multiphysics system is modeled using two different energy-based graphical techniques: Bond Graph and Energetic Macroscopic Representation. These formalisms can be used together to analyze, model and control a system. The BG is used to support physical, lumped-parameter modeling and analysis processes, and then EMR is used to facilitate definition of a control structure through inversion-based methodology. This complementarity between both of these tools is set out through a helicopter flight control subsystem.
