Abstract

This paper is concerned with the development of a new, highly realistic simulation model for parafoil systems. As a substantial aspect a nonlinear high-fidelity two-body model is presented, considering eight degrees of freedom. Important special features of parafoils, like relative motions between airfoil and payload as well as the influence of the large air volume of the canopy with its effects to the system are considered. For evaluation of the flight behavior of parafoil systems the nonlinear differential equations of the system have been derived and solved by numerical simulation. Based on theses simulations this paper will give a description of the dynamic reactions of parafoil systems to symmetric and asymmetric control inputs, to atmospheric disturbances as well as to a twisted payload.
