Abstract

A new software tool - called Helidyn+ is developed for comprehensive helicopter analysis, simulation and design. Helidyn+ allows the user to generate a helicopter math model through its component build up algorithm by selecting model libraries for various helicopter sub-components, such as models for the main rotor, inflow, tail rotor, fuselage, landing gear etc. The software is capable of modeling a helicopter, running a simple performance analysis, trimming for different flight conditions, linearizing, running batch simulations, as well as generating dynamic link libraries ready to be integrated into existing simulations and software environments. This paper explains capabilities and features of Helidyn+ and shows some recent applications.
