When designing future aircraft, the entire system including airframe, propulsion system, energy management and mission control must be considered in a coupled approach at an early design stage. To model and study this complex interaction, the Engine Mission Simulation System (EMSS) environment was created in cooperation with the Bundeswehr Technical Center for Aircraft and Aircraft Equipment. EMSS is intended to serve as a digital, flying test bed at the Institute of Jet Propulsion for the rapid and low-cost evaluation of new concepts for propulsion and power supply systems for new and legacy aircraft designs. This tool chain allows a detailed engine simulation under consideration of its flight condition while using an external propulsion and power control system. First, the software architecture of EMSS is discussed, which involves a propulsion simulation in NPSS® coupled with the X-Plane 11 flight simulator via MATLAB®/Simulink®. The aircraft itself is modeled as a six degrees of freedom simulation using the blade element theory, allowing both complex flight maneuvers and unusual aircraft to be easily simulated. The EMSS achieves real-time capability and enables user-friendly pre-design as well as quick trend detection through the ability to perform focused parametric studies. To evaluate the accuracy of the system’s results, the engine model used is validated against experimental data. Subsequently, the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft model are verified with a CFD simulation. Finally, a parametric study is used to demonstrate the mission as well as propulsion evaluation capabilities of the Engine Mission Simulation System.
