Developing Scenarios for Research into Upset Recovery Simulation

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the European Framework Programme 7 project SUPRA – Simulation of Upset Recovery in Aviation, a European research effort involving nine partnering organizations from the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Russia, the United Kingdom and Germany aiming at developing new concepts of ground-based upset recovery simulation for use on hexapod-type as well as centrifuge-based simulators. Along with a general overview of the project objectives the paper reports on the status of the R&D effort including some of the first important decisions taken within the project such as the definition of a set of upset scenarios to be used by SUPRA for benchmarking of the concepts developed by the project.
