PITCH MOVEMENT AND ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT USING OPENVSP

Abstract


 
 
 There are many different design options available thanks to the growing number of customised solutions in the aircraft design process, which mostly rely on new technology at the component level. In addition, there is a rising need for a uniform, intelligible data model due to the process' increased complexity as well as the increasing number of possible fixed-wing aircraft configurations. Design is made simpler by the use of parametric geometry tools like Vehicle Sketch Pad (OpenVSP), which express geometry in language that are most familiar to designers. The development of new OpenVSP features and capabilities has been extensively covered in publications and presentations over the years, but use case studies and best practises are frequently not documented. To illustrate the use of OpenVSP in the design process, this paper provides examples of advanced OpenVSP templates best practises.
