Hybrid Aircraft Simulation Control and Testing

Fully leverage digital twins starting with the requirement definition until the verification and certification in one coherent digital thread. Simulate the interaction between your electrical and mechanical design in a complete virtual environment and tune your physical hybrid electric propulsion system design in real-time using HIL testing.  

In this growing market, it is a state-of-the-art procedure for suppliers to deliver a virtual model of their component to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), enabling them to build a digital twin and test its integration. This digital twin enables engineers to perform rapid control prototyping (RCP) and test the plant model in the iron bird, which leads to shorter development and integration cycles. 

Develop, test, and certify the flight controller for your hybrid-electric aircraft. Perform HIL testing on the power control system and verify its integration in the auto flight system while keeping track of all requirements from the aviation authorities.

Simplify power hardware-in-the-loop (P-HIL) testing by using high fidelity FPGAs to sample high frequencies up to 12.5 Giga samples per second (Gsps) and verify your onboard power system. You can perform stress tests on your system by performing fault insertion in the physical domain. This allows you to determine how the faults influence your system enabling you to validate your requirements from the modeled domain in real time. 

Design and test your battery management system (BMS) for your onboard microgrid and power electronic system. You can perform hardware-in-the-loop tests for estimates state-of-charge (SoC) and state-of-health (SOH) monitoring. The emulation of individual cells or complete battery packs enables you to perform early testing of your BMS and evaluate how they interact with your onboard power system. 

Verify the design of your electric hybrid, hydrogen fuel-cell, and battery-based propulsion system using HIL to ensure the required design assurance level (DAL) for your new prototype. Ensure seamless integration of your electric propulsion system into your hydrogen and kerosene combustion power generation.
