This paper discusses the development of the X-57 Mod II piloted simulator along with the predicted flight dynamics of the airplane. The piloted simulator models were initially based on data published by Tecnam on a P2006T airplane but were further improved upon through parameter identification of flight data as well as modeling tools such as computational fluid dynamics. In addition to having accurate flight models, a realistic cockpit was constructed to aid pilot training. From the piloted simulator, an understanding of how the airplane will behave throughout the flight envelope using established FAR and MIL standards is discussed. Using the simulation results, this paper will show that the airplane is predicted to be statically and dynamically stable as well as having Level 1 flying qualities.
