This study continues previous research evaluating the aircraft flight dynamics in the presence of wake disturbances. A model for fixed-wing-generated wake effects is input to the closed-loop system of a Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) Lift+Cruise aircraft operating in the fixed-wing Cruise configuration. The wake effects are implemented as a time-varying nonlinear aerodynamic model that affect the stability, dynamic, and control derivatives of the aircraft at every time step. The final product of this study is a reduced separation minimum based on further simulation testing with the nonlinear RVLT Lift+Cruise aircraft model, as well as additional wake inputs from rotorcraft and static urban canyons.
