Abstract

An approach for a virtual aircraft model with the purpose to simulate the static and dynamic aeroelastic behavior of a flexible aircraft is presented. To reduce the computational effort, methods for accurate model reduction and their applicability for a flexible aircraft configuration is investigated. Static and dynamic flight maneuvers are performed to identify critical load conditions, which are furhter used with the inverse transformation for detailed structural sizing. As a computational demonstration example, a generic high aspect ratio composite aircraft swept wing is used.
