Abstract:The goal of this project was to study the Simplified Vehicle Operations (SVO) paradigm for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft through piloted simulations in two fixed-base flight simulators located at the Vehicle Systems, Dynamics, and Design Laboratory (VSDDL), part of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University. A lift-plus-cruise (LPC) aircraft flight simulation model was deployed to two flight simulators, with identical cockpit display elements and core flight control system (FCS) architecture, which was based on the Total Energy Control System (TECS). The simulator setups differed in the design of the pilot inceptors and in the inceptor-to-command mappings.
