Abstract
A number of research programmes are being undertaken in the field of flight simulation. This paper accounts for a component of the research being performed under one of those programmes. The specific aim of the work presented in the paper was to establish a means whereby an aircraft and its associated undercarriage could be ‘trimmed’. The equilibrium condition is found without the need to run the full simulation model. This results in time saving without loss of accuracy. The trimming algorithm is detailed in terms of the method of solution and the range of shock strut and tyre models that can be employed. Sample results are presented in the paper.
