The FLYRT simulation model of the U.S. Army/McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache attack helicopter is validated against flight test data. The approach used for validation involves matching static trim attitudes and control positions and driving the model with measured control time histories to compare dynamic responses such as angular rates and normal acceleration. Flight test data is processed to determine kinematic consistency in the angular degrees of freedom. Modeling problems associated with aerodynamic interaction of the main rotor wake on the horizontal stabilator and engine response timing are identified. Appropriate model updates are made which result in good overall model correlation throughout the flight regime investigated.
