Modulares Experimentalsystem im Innern des DLR-Forschungshubschraubers FHS
FHS (Fliegender Hubschrauber Simulator) ist mit einem modularen Experimentalsystem ausgestattet. Das System besteht neben dem Bordrechner aus einer umfangreichen Sensorausrüstung.
The Flight Test Instrumentation and IT (Information Technology) department develops and operates measurement and test equipment for use in flight testing and for the WiValdi Research Wind Farm. It thus creates the enabling factors for experimental research for both DLR scientists and external customers.
Several of the department's employees have been authorised by the German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to carry out modifications to DLR aircraft in the areas of flight, structure, cabin, avionics, lightning protection, electrical systems and mission systems. The associated high-quality prototyping, including conformity testing, is carried out by trained production personnel. The department operates reliable and precise measurement systems that are essential for scientific research. These are customised and can also be used as so-called test systems for the control and regulation of aircraft if required. The department implements IT solutions for distributed measurement systems (Research Wind Farm WiValdi), which include the precise synchronisation of recorded measurement data. The department not only performs tasks in the field of EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) during development and as part of verification procedures, but also conducts research in the field of electromagnetic compatibility.
The department's range of tasks includes:
Operation and further development of
the test facility for the ACT/FHS (Active Control Technology/Flying Helicopter Simulator) research helicopter
the measurement systems for the flight test vehicles ATRA (Advanced Technology Research Aircraft) and ISTAR (In-Flight Systems and Technology Airborne Research)
Der Fliegende Hubschrauber Simulator (ACT/FHS) verfügt über eine Fly-by-Wire/Fly-by-Light-Steuerung. Durch sein mit voller Autorität über ein Computersystem ansteuerbares Steuerungssystem kann der ACT/FHS das Flugverhalten anderer Hubschrauber simulieren.
Die Flugversuche mit dem ACT/FHS werden von der Bodenstation aus begleitet und überwacht. Sie dient zur Übertragung von Mess-, Audio- und Videodaten zu den Experimentatoren am Boden sowie der Darstellung der Daten in Echtzeit.
