Description
Key accountabilities include:
- Development, analysis and improvement of the high fidelity non-linear aircraft dynamic simulation based upon analytical, wind tunnel, CFD and flight test data.
- System Identification (SysID) of aircraft dynamics based on the test data.
- Development and validation of aircraft stability derivatives and aerodynamic data from multiple sources.
- Stability and control analysis.
- Development, documentation, and inspection of aerodynamic and system simulation models for the purposes of flight dynamics analysis.
- Maintaining version control of the high-fidelity non-linear simulation and providing periodic releases to the other engineering groups.
- Defining and improving the tools and processes associated with aircraft simulation and analysis.
- Resolving design problems from the development and certification activities.
- Supporting aircraft design, ground testing and flight testing activities, including the preparation of test plans, testing and data analysis to support the updating and validation of the aerodynamic model.
