Helicopter Operations from Ships

Aim of the subject :

The effects of wind around the superstructure of a ship can have significant impact on the handling of helicopters in the landing and takeoff phases of flight.

The project entails the development of a helicopter model, the modelling of ship dynamics in rough seas and the simulation of vortices around the superstructure of a ship. The second part of the study is to investigate flight control systems and guidance systems to improve the safety and operational capability of landing on ships in heavy seas and windy conditions.
