Aerodynamics & Fluid Mechanics
High-lift Devices & Configuration
Move the flap. Rebalance the aircraft. Watch lift capability, drag and tail load change together.
Open experiment ↗EIGHT EXPERIMENTS · ONE CHAIN OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
Change the event.
See what follows.
Trace the connections between shape, energy, measurement and control. Move an event in time, save a reference and watch two responses unfold together.
01 / Configuration, power & measurement
Aircraft Systems
Hydraulic Networks & Actuator Dynamics
Follow a pump, accumulator and position servo through a command, a pump loss and a backup response.
Open experiment ↗Aircraft Systems
Electrical Power & Load Management
Lose a source, connect the buses and shed demand. See which loads remain supplied and how the battery reserve changes.
Open experiment ↗Flight Dynamics & Control
Air-data Faults & Control Response
Compare true motion with sensed motion. Introduce a pressure-source fault and watch it enter the feedback loop.
Open experiment ↗02 / Near-ground flight & flexible wings
Aircraft Performance
Ground Effect & Landing Flare
Set a flare event and compare the same approach with and without the ground. Follow height, speed and lift together.
Open experiment ↗Aerodynamics & Fluid Mechanics
Flexible Wings & Aeroelasticity
Inspect coupled bending and twist, then switch to a typical-section flutter experiment with an unsteady aerodynamic wake.
Open experiment ↗03 / Engine response & cabin demand
Propulsion & Engine Systems
Engine Acceleration & Compressor Stability
Follow the rotor energy during acceleration, then inspect a separate compression system where duct inertia and plenum storage can produce surge.
Open experiment ↗Aircraft Systems
Bleed Air, Cabin Cooling & Engine Performance
Allocate engine air to the cabin. Trace the heat removed, the pressure maintained and the propulsion consequence.
Open experiment ↗These experiments extend the existing topic modules. Their original chapters remain available. Each experiment states its equations, assumptions and stopping limits.
