WISDOM
In the WISDOM (Wing Integrated Systems Demonstration On Mechatronic Rig) project, a demonstration environment for future flight control systems with high aspect ratio wings is being created.
This involves the system-level implementation of innovative functions, such as active load alleviation and flutter suppression, through multifunctional control surfaces utilizing representative system components. The systems of the demonstrator are being designed from scratch, taking into account the usual certification requirements in aviation, including CS-25, etc. The design was, furthermore, tailored to future commercial transport aircraft.
The demonstrator includes flight control systems for multifunctional control surfaces as well as a load simulation system. A flight dynamics model including load simulation is being executed on a powerful simulation computer to provide the necessary commands in real-time for the flight control systems and the load simulation system.
Beyond the end of the project, the demonstrator will remain available for further development of multifunctional flight control systems.
