A simulation of the Westland WG 13 Lynx helicopter was carried out using the pilot flight simulator of the Aerodynamics Flight Division, Royal Aircraft Establishment, Bedford, in order to predict the flight handling features of this helicopter, to identify possible problem areas, and to investigate, where appropriate, solutions to these problems. The simulation, conducted in conjunction with Westland Helicopters Ltd., took place about five months before the first flight of the Lynx. Handling features of the helicopter were investigated, including the benefits obtained by stabilization using duplex lanes and the problems associated with runaways of the autostabilization equipment. A brief qualitative comparison of the simulator results with results of flight tests on the actual Lynx was made and areas of effective simulation identified. The need for improved simulator motion and visual cues for certain phases of simulated helicopter flight is noted. (Author)
