This paper presents the background, development, and applications of simplified loads models for characterizing the loads related to SARISTU activities in application scenario AS03. The models have been developed from the initial SARISTU wing model of Alenia Aermacchi (AAM). A mass model of the fuel has been reconstructed from the aircraft data, and an aircraft model has been developed using an aircraft sizing tool. With the completion of the winglet design, the SARISTU winglet and the winglet active trailing edge (WATE) model have also been integrated in the loads model. The loads analysis for design purposes includes manoeuvre as well as gust loads. To support the evaluation of WATE device for the gust load alleviation system (GLAS), a state-space aeroservoelastic model of the SARISTU aircraft is developed. The methodologies and models developed within SARISTU have been successfully employed in the design of GLAS and WATE controller optimization and investigations to verify possible wing structure mass reductions. The approach and dynamic loads models developed in SARISTU can be applied straightforward in future R&D projects for structure loads assessments (aeromechanical), control design and optimization, loads, and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).
