Abstract
The use of model-based approaches in aerospace engineering has become increasingly widespread in recent years, as it enables cost reductions in design and improvements in safety. This technique is mainly applied during the preliminary design phase to test different configurations and identify those that meet the system requirements. Furthermore, developing a mathematical model proves particularly useful during aircraft refurbishment or configuration modifications, as changes in system behavior and control characteristics can be easily predicted and evaluated. This is precisely the objective of the present master’s thesis. This work was carried out in collaboration with TPS Aerospace Engineering Srl, a leading company in the aerospace sector specializing in the design and certification of aeronautical products and components.
The project is part of a continuous thesis program: the implemented models are derived from a previous study conducted on the AgustaWestland AW109K2, a lightweight, twin-engine, eight-seat multipurpose helicopter designed and manufactured by the Italian rotorcraft company Agusta
