ARISTOTEL
Aircraft and Rotorcraft Pilot Couplings – Tools and Techniques for Alleviat ion and Detection
- Description
ARISTOTEL has the ambitious goal to advance the understanding, prediction and alleviation of a particularly unfavourable category of phenomena, the so-called 'aircraft-pilot-couplings and rotorcraft-pilot-couplings (A/RPCs)'. A/RPCs generally are oscillations or divergent responses of the vehicle originating from adverse pilot-vehicle couplings. These undesirable couplings may result in potential instabilities or annoying limit cycle oscillations, degrading the aircraft handling qualities and risking exceedence of its structural strength envelope. The ARISTOTEL project aims to develop tools and techniques to advance the state-of-the-art in A/RPCs research and thus reduce the risk of accidents caused by these unfavourable phenomena.
