Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of rotorcraft requires rigorous testing and evaluation. NLR offers expert consultation services for Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) of rotorcraft performance, helping you to assess flight performance, extend flight envelopes, and evaluate engine failure conditions. Our expertise also extends to accident investigation, stability and control analysis, including sling load operations.
NLR can support you with:
- Access to a range of simulation tools, including:
- ART’s FLIGHTLAB for rotorcraft modelling, analysis, and real-time simulation development.
- EMPRESS for accurate rotorcraft performance prediction across the entire flight envelope.
- EUROPA for conducting flight procedure computations.
- Utilisation of our Helicopter Pilot Station (HPS), a reconfigurable engineering simulator for pilot-in-the-loop studies, featuring:
- Wide field of view.
- Control loaders.
- Reconfigurable instrument displays.
- Flight mechanics models.
- High-fidelity modelling capabilities for a wide range of rotorcraft, up to level D training simulator standards.
- Development of real-time flight dynamics models for training simulators that meet EASA/FAA standards.
- Expertise in rotorcraft simulation and modelling to support your training and research needs.
