The rigid-body degrees of freedom and elastic degrees of freedom of aeroelastic vehicles are typically treated separately in dynamic analysis. Such a decoupling, however, is not always justified and modeling assumptions that imply decoupling must be used with caution. The frequency separation between the rigid-body and elastic degrees of freedom for advanced aircraft may no longer be sufficient to permit the typical treatment of the vehicle dynamics. Integrated, elastic vehicle models must be developed initially and simplified in a manner appropriate to and consistent with the intended application. This paper summarizes key results from the research aimed at developing and implementing integrated aeroelastic vehicle models for flight controls analysis and design. Three major areas will be addressed: (1) the accurate representation of the dynamics of aeroelastic vehicles, (2) properties of several model simplification methods, and (3) the importance of understanding the physics of the system being modeled and of having a model which exposes the underlying physical causes for critical dynamic characteristics.
