- Frasca’s Auto-test Utility. This consists of software and sensors, which automatically fly the FTD though the required JAA maneuvers, record its performance and allow the FTD’s performance to be compared to flight test data from the aircraft.
- Blade Element Modeling techniques (BEMT)-analyzes the airflow over the rotor by dividing the rotor into small segments. Each segment is analyzed continuously as the blade moves through the air. The individual forces of each segment are then summed to determine the net forces that act in the simulation. Blade element modeling offers superior performance to disk models that treat the entire rotor disk as a single element. Disk models require extensive software to deal with special conditions such as retreating blade stall, settling with power and autorotation. These conditions are simulated without special consideration when using blade element modeling.
- Cockpit controls connected to precision electric actuators in order to provide realistic forces as encountered in flight.
