In this study, a dynamic field theory (DFT) based cognitive model of a pilot performing pitch attitude control of a 3 degree of freedom aircraft model is presented. The cognitive model is validated by comparing the pilot model’s pitch attitude hold performance with real flight test results of a human pilot on a real aircraft. A high degree of similarity was observed between the behaviour of the human pilot and the DFT model. The paper contains a brief summary of older control theory based pilot models, describes the similarities between control theoretic and DFT approaches, and shows the DFT pilot’s flexibility to adapt to different temporal behaviours

A VERSATILE DYNAMIC ROTOR AND PROPELLER MODEL FOR ELECTRIC VTOL SIMULATION APPLICATIONS Esmek, Ceren Cansu; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-9-02) This thesis presents a versatile, dynamic rotor/propeller model for various all-electric and hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) simulation applications. The goal is to reflect the transformative potential of eVTOL to carry different types of thrust sources using one generic mathematical model. The thrust sources may include propellers, articulated rotors, ducted rotors, and coaxial rotors. These rotors are modeled based on blade element theory. Rotor inflow is estimated using the ...
An embodied and cognitive model of figther pilot high level air-to-air engagement decision Kaygusuz, Yasin; Çakır, Murat Perit (2023-08-01) The development of pilot models has been a long-standing interest in cognitive modeling and AI due to the potential gains they offer in aerial robotics. In this study, a cognitive and embodied fighter pilot model is developed to obtain pilot-like characteristics for making high-level decisions in air-to-air engagements, using spiking neurons in ensembles implemented in the Neural Engineering Objects (NENGO) framework (Bekolay et al., 2014; Eliasmith, 2015). One major problem that is faced when creating such...
A Model based approach for aircraft sensor fault detection Serçekman, Ömür; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) This thesis presents a reformative approach to a model-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method that improves the capability of aircraft flight control systems and acquires low complexity and computational requirements. The main objective of the FDD techniques that are extensively applied in industrial systems is to increase the sensitivity of fault detection scheme with respect to additional noise, uncertainty or disturbances. The designed fault detection model is integrated to a civil aircraft mod...
A new method to determine dynamically equivalent finite element models of aircraft structures from modal test data Karaağaçlı, Taylan; Yıldız, Erdinç N.; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2012-8) Flutter analysis is a major requirement to predict safe flight envelops and to decide on flutter testing conditions of newly designed or modified aircraft structures. In order to achieve reliable flutter analysis of an aircraft structure, it is necessary to obtain a good correlation between its finite element (FE) model and experimental modal data. Currently available model updating methods require construction of a detailed initial FE model in order to achieve convergence of the modes obtained from updated...
A Computational analysis on rotor-propeller arm interaction in hovering flight Yener, Serkan.; Perçin, Mustafa; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) This study presents a computational analysis on the interaction between rotor and different rotor frame-arm geometries in hovering flight. The influence of the frame arm on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor is assessed by using commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver software ANSYS Inc. Fluent 17. Numerical results are validated for hovering and forward vertical climb flight conditions with thrust and torque measurements conducted on a 16x4 carbon fiber propeller. The thrust ...
