CDI has recently developed several high fidelity, physics-based, real-time aerodynamic models for use in rotorcraft flight simulations & trainers. Our software solutions provide blade element/wake models for rotating and non-rotating aerodynamic components that plug easily into any existing flight simulation or trainer. Our aerodynamic models are the highest fidelity currently available in real-time. The high fidelity requires at least one computer core devoted entirely to our aerodynamic solution coupled asynchronously with the flight simulation. CDI can also can provide state-of-the-art ship airwake/rotor wake modeling, and will soon have a fully-coupled, real-time ship airwake/rotor/rotor wake solution that will advance the state-of-the-art significantly for those willing to devote multiple cores to the aerodynamic solution. Projects CDI is working with NAVAIR to develop what we believe will be the next generation aerodynamic models for rotorcraft and tiltrotor flight simulations and trainers. These models will be particularly useful when simulating shipboard operations. CDI recently developed a high fidelity brownout model and collaborated with SAIC in coupling the model into a U.S. Army rotorcraft flight simulator at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville. CDI also developed the ship airwakes for some recent CAE trainers being developed for the U.S. Navy. Products Click here to see collection of CDI software products for simulation and training.
