Abstract

Aircraft systems and associated technologies have been constantly evolving over the years with an increasing number of components and actors interacting together in a global chain. Given this ever-growing complexity, the use of simulation in the design and validation phases of emerging systems is essential and allows to significantly accelerate some prototyping phases, especially in cross-domain concepts. This article describes analysis and experiments done at ISAE-SUPAERO for running large scale and hybrid real-time simulations for aircraft using the HLA standard (High Level Architecture).

This work has been realized in the context of the PRISE project (Research Platform for Embedded Systems Engineering) which tends to provide a platform for study, evaluation and validation of new embedded system concepts and architectures to our students and researchers. In addition, this project has inherited from the research work carried out in the scope of the AEGIS research chair, established between SAFRAN Group and ISAE-SUPAERO in 2016 with aim to promote and help develop multi-disciplinary preliminary design and optimisation methods applied to highly integrated propulsive systems.
