"SIMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND HANDLING QUALITIES ANALYSIS OF LOW-BOOM FLIGHT DEMONSTRATOR (LBFD) DESIGNS" THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PERFORM THE FOLLOWING TASK REQUIREMENTS:3.1. SIMULATION DEVELOPMENT - THE CONTRACTOR SHALL WORK WITH NASA AND UTILIZE MATH MODELS PROVIDED BY THE PROJECT TEAM TO DEVELOP A HIGH FIDELITY SIX DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM SIMULATION CAPABLE OF ACCURATELY MODELING THE FLIGHT DYNAMICS OF THE LBFD DESIGNS. THIS WILL INCLUDE EXPERIMENTING WITH AND DEVELOPING NEW SIMULATION AND MODELING TECHNIQUES TO MORE ACCURATELY MODEL THE EFFECTS OF AEROELASTICITY ON THE DYNAMIC FLIGHT RESPONSE OF LONG SLENDER VEHICLE DESIGNS.3.2.STABILITY AND CONTROL ANALYSIS - THE CONTRACTOR SHALL WORK WITH NASA TO PROVIDE AN EVALUATION OF VEHICLE STABILITY AND CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS AND VEHICLE FLIGHT DYNAMICS USING THE SIMULATION TOOLS DEVELOPED. RESULTS WILL BE COMPARED AGAINST VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS AND ANY AREAS OF CONCERN SHALL BE IDENTIFIED AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS PROPOSED. RESULTS WILL BE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED AT PROJECT MEETINGS AND REVIEWS AS WELL AS DOCUMENTED IN QUARTERLY REPORTS.3.3.TEST SUPPORT AND MODEL DEVELOPMENT THE CONTRACTOR MAY PROVIDE SUPPORT, AS NECESSARY, OF DEVELOPMENTAL TESTS (I.E. WIND TUNNEL, STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS, ETC.) THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIMULATION MATH MODELS USED TO SIMULATE VEHICLE DYNAMICS. THE CONTRACTOR MAY ALSO BE ASKED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND GUIDANCE CONCERNING THE FORMAT AND CONTENT OF THE MATH MODELS UNDER DEVELOPMENT.3.4.FLIGHT CONTROLS DEVELOPMENT THE CONTRACTOR SHALL EXPERIMENT WITH VARIOUS CONTROL METHODOLOGIES TO PROVIDE VEHICLE STABILITY AUGMENTATION AND STRUCTURAL MODE CONTROL AS NEEDED TO MEET THE STABILITY AND CONTROL REQUIREMENTS AND IMPROVE VEHICLE HANDLING QUALITIES. THIS MAY INCLUDE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL APPROACHES OR CONTROL DESIGN TECHNIQUES. is a federal award for Nasa Langley Research Center held by National Institute of Aerospace Associates.
