More than Dynamic Modelling

All serious/major manufacturers have some form of simulation capability. What we intend to do is to show how the J2 Universal Tool-Kit can be used for much more.

J2 Aircraft Dynamics have over 15 years experience in aircraft design and control including handling qualities evaluation and envelope expansion of the Eurofighter Typhoon Aircraft, design and control system development of Reconnaissance, Radar Jamming and Flying Target UAVs, Thrust Vectoring and conventional aircraft. Each aircraft class offers their own unique requirements on handling qualities, stability and control, and manoeuvring. We have analysed Business Jets and a variety of unconventional aircraft and missile systems.

This extensive research and experience base underpins the overall capabilities of the J2 Universal Tool-Kit. We have not yet come across any other solution that comes close to achieving the benefits offered by the J2 solution.

From our conversations and research and our discussions with Manufacturers, Consultants, Government Agencies, and

• “We already have the ability to model and simulate our aircraft”
  
• “We don’t use simulation of our aircraft at the early stages of the design”
  
• “We already have Matlab”

Here we hope to help you to understand the current situation, and to outline/define how the J2 Universal Tool-Kit can be used to return significant value/provide significant savings in time, costs and improved productivity. Take the time to know where you can accelerate your knowledge and understanding and know where you can significantly reduce your costs of design.

All serious/major manufacturers have some form of simulation capability. This is often legacy code that has been written by engineers for some project past that has been updated and modified over time to fit each new project. In very large organisations, a separate software group may have been commissioned to write a more general solution. However, in all cases this solution utilises comprehensive data for defining the aircraft coefficient information, as well as mass and inertia details. In the worst case scenario the aircraft data is actually embedded in the code itself (hard coded and typically written in FORTRAN) and any changes to the aircraft design require a modification to the code and corresponding re-compilation. In better situations, the aircraft data is stored in text files that are loaded into the software at run-time. For more information see our white paper More Than Dynamic Modelling
