Simulation framework for civil tiltrotor mission performance

A simulation framework for the overall mission performance of a civil tiltrotor system is presented. In this work, a numerical model of a benchmark tiltrotor aircraft’s flight dynamics is paired with a high-fidelity simulation of the turboshaft powerplant. The gas turbine simulation of the baseline...
