| 内容記述 | This paper describes the elements and operation of a simulator that is being used to train operators of the Rotor Test Apparatus (RTA) in the large-scale 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel at Ames Research Center. The simulator, named TUTOR (for Tunnel Utilization Trainer with Operating Rotor) duplicates the controls of the rotor and its dynamic behavior, as well as the wind-tunnel controls. The simulation software uses a preexisting blade-element model of a four-bladed rotor with flapping and lead-lag degrees of freedom. Equations were developed for all hardware and controls of the RTA and of the wind tunnel that are normally required to perform a wind-tunnel test of a helicopter rotor. The simulator hardware consists of consoles designed to have the same appearance and functions as those in the control room of the 40- by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel, allowing input from three operators who normally establish the required operating conditions during a test run. Normal operating procedures can be practiced, as well as simulated emergencies such as rotor power failure. |
