Aerodynamic force is the resultant of pressure and tangential force acting on the surface of an aircraft when the aircraft and air move relative to each other. Depending on factors such as flight speed, flight altitude, flight conditions, aircraft geometry and dimensions. The system can be specifically decomposed into 3 component forces of lift force, resistance force and lateral force. In the embodiment, aerodynamic force received by the aircraft during flying is simulated, an aerodynamic mathematical model of the fixed-wing aircraft is included, and a model template for simulation calculation is formed, wherein wings are main components of the aircraft for generating lift force, and when an aerodynamic force action point deviates from the gravity center, a pitching moment, a directional moment and a rolling moment are generated; the resistance, the lateral force, the lift force, the rolling moment, the pitching moment, the yawing moment and various coefficients of the aircraft are directly output after input parameters are calculated, so that the air flow of the aircraft is simulated, and the forces and the moments in the x direction, the y direction and the z direction are obtained.

The mass characteristics module 104 simulates the effect of changes in the aircraft mass, center of mass, and moment of inertia on the aircraft performance and handling characteristics. The weight of the aircraft is calculated from the gross weight minus the total fuel consumption. According to the fuel consumption of the airplane, the change of the weight center of gravity and the moment of inertia of the airplane is simulated. The mass characteristic model simulates the mass change of fuel consumption and the change of the center of gravity and the rotational inertia of the airplane caused by fuel imbalance. The weight, center of gravity, and moment of inertia of the aircraft are collectively referred to as mass characteristics. The mass characteristics affect the work of the airplane in various fields such as load, performance, stability and flutter, and because the fuel consumption has great influence on the airplane mass, the fuel occupies a large proportion in the weight of the whole airplane, taking B737-400 as an example: the empty weight is 33 tons, the fuel oil is 18.5 tons, and the passenger carrying capacity is 150 people (about 10.5 tons), and the total weight is about 62 tons. Fuel accounts for nearly one third of the total weight. The aircraft can continuously fly for 4000 km, the endurance time is about 5 hours, and the average oil consumption per hour is more than 3 tons, which is about 1/20 of the total weight. It can be seen that the effect of fuel consumption on aircraft quality during flight is significant. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the influence of fuel consumption on the performance and handling characteristics of the aircraft is also simulated with emphasis.
The motion equation module 105 is configured to simulate a six-degree-of-freedom dynamic full equation of an aircraft, complete calculation of a six-degree-of-freedom rigid motion equation of the aircraft, and finally calculate flight state parameters of the aircraft according to the aerodynamic force parameters and the engine force parameters, including aerodynamic force and moment (resistance, lateral force, lift force, rolling moment, pitching moment and yawing moment), ground reaction force and moment, and aircraft motion response during engine force and engine moment.
