Dynamical systems methods for evaluating aircraft ground manoeuvres

摘要

Evaluating the ground-based manoeuvrability of large aircraft is time consumingand costly if explored though simulations with industry-developed complexmodels of ground dynamics. We argue here that this type of dynamics can be investigated efficiently and with considerable precision by applying dynamical systems techniques. As an example, we consider the lateral loads experienced by an Airbus A380 when it turns off a runway.
