Simulation of the Compatibility of an Air Capable Ship and a VTOL Aircraft
2007
Daffer, George H. | Rogers, David F.
An interactive computer simulation, LARC-I, has been designed to solve the non-linear equations of motion of a generalized VTOL aircraft taking off from or landing on the deck of a ship moving in an irregular or random seaway. This version of LARC-I is limited to longitudinal motions, but is designed for eventual expansion to all degrees of freedom. The LARC-I programs makes use of ship motion amplitudes and frequencies derived separately in a ship motions program, wherein the forcing functions of the seaway are based on a stochastic representation of the waves for any given sea state. The pitching and heaving motions of the ship are transmitted to the aircraft by a realistic simulation of the landing gear. (Modified author abstract)
