Validating High-G Aerobatic Maneuvers

Can jet formations maintain safety and performance during extreme maneuvers? This example demonstrates how to validate critical flight behaviors using a model validation workflow—checking whether jet maneuvers stay within safety, performance and structural design limits.

Create the Model

A model of a jet aircraft performing the Split-S aerobatic routine is created, taking into account control inputs and aerodynamic effects.

Create the Validation Rule

Define a requirement: "During the Split-S maneuver, the aircraft’s velocity and load factor must remain within the allowable envelope defined in the velocity vs. load factor diagram."

Velocity vs. load factor envelope: the shaded region represents safe combinations of velocity (x axis) and G-force (y axis) during flight.

Run Validation and Compare Configurations

Several configurations with different control values are validated.

Several simulations are validated and success configurations are obtained.
Configuration remains within the safety envelope during the maneuver.
