Research and Implementation of Simulation for Aircraft Crossing the Low-Level Wind Shear Area

Abstract

Abstract: Low-level wind shear seriously affects the safety of approach and departure of flights, the flight simulation system is utilized for analyzing low-level wind shear influences on aircraft take-off and landing, which is of great significance for seeking the safety circumvention strategy of aircraft crossing the core of the storm. With software, Fluent, the system simulated the regional wind field of low-level wind shear, and utilized the open source flight simulator, FlightGear, as the aircraft simulation platform. The system sent the wind speed data as the input of system via UDP(User Datagram Protocol) interface and the influences on aircraft flight state was analyzed under the wind shear region. The simulation system can easily simulate the different aircrafts taking off and landing process through wind shear zone, and can also compare and analyze the influences of different intensity storms on the flight safety.

Key words: navigation safety, wind shear, flight simulation, interface of user datagram protocol
