Landing Approach Surfaces Performance, Constraint, and Accuracy Analysis

  • Landing approach surfaces design and performance analysis in terms of energy, power, and time
  • Constraint analysis considering inflow modeling, vortex ring state (VRS), acceleration limits, h-V (dead man’s) diagram, speed limits, obstacles, and FAA regulations
  • Landing simulations under turbulence using retrofitted tilt-wing flight dynamic models and landing accuracy analysis via circular error probables
  • Published a conference paper. (Yilmaz et al., 2019)
