A:R.T. Engineering & Consulting

:: Engineering & Consulting

In addition to developing rotorcraft and fixed-wing flight dynamics models, ART has been providing Engineering & Consulting services to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and a multitude of Aerospace and Defense companies since 1982. ART is proud to have won multiple phase 1 and phase 2 SBIR awards over the years, and we currently have a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) in place with the U.S. Army. Below is a list of some of the projects ART has worked on over the years.

  • Developed & Validated Navy helicopter models in FLIGHTLAB
  • Performed Rotorcraft/Ship Dynamics Interface Simulation & Analysis
  • Integration of FLIGHTLAB UH-60 model with UH-60 OFT at Ft. Rucker for support of flight test operations
  • Integration of FLIGHTLAB models with Avionics integration and testing laboratories
  • Combined Weapons/Platform testing
  • FLIGHTLAB support of conceptual design and preliminary design of new rotorcraft for the U.S. Army
  • RCAS support to U.S. Army for coupled CFD/CSD analysis
  • RCAS support to U.S. Army for Improved cargo helicopter and sling load handling qualities analysis
  • NAVY support of shipboard operations analysis, fixed wing modeling, sling load handling, and high performance computing for rotorcraft performance analysis
  • Support for Wind Turbine design and analysis for the Department of Energy
  • Use of FLIGHTLAB models and Pilot models for testing radar avoidance guidance for the U.S. Air Force
  • ART uses the Governments Overflow program to support Computational Fluid Dynamics applications
    • Modeling of the ship airwake
    • Modeling of the airwake coming from buildings in an urban environment
    • Integration of CFD with FLIGHTLAB’s Finite Element Modeling capability for comprehensive load and vibration analysis
      • This capability is being used to support DARPA’s Quiet Rotor program and has been implemented on the Government’s High Performance Computing network with the support of the Army’s Aeroflightdynamics Directorate at the Ames Research Center
