Course Contents Application of MATLAB or Python software to aircraft specific turbulence responses:
1. Calculation of aircraft time-histories due to both symmetrical and asymmetrical, longitudinal, lateral and vertical turbulence
components.
2. Calculation of analytical transfer functions, frequency response functions, and auto- and cross Power Spectral Density (PSD)
functions of state- and output variables (e.g.
acceleration levels).
3. Numerical calculation of frequency response functions, and auto- and cross Power Spectral Density (PSD) functions of stateand output-variables.
4. Calculation of (co)variance- and correlation-functions of aircraft state-and output-variables.
5. The effects of Automatic Flight Control Systems on the aircrafts responses on atmospheric turbulence.
Study Goals Introduction to both time- and frequency-domain identification and simulation techniques using MATLAB or Python. The
techniques are applied to example aircraft (amongst others Cessna Citation 500).
