Applications Overview
Trust J2 to handle all your ‘heavy lifting’ activities associated with fixed wing and rotary wing model build, analysis, simulation and flight test data handling and analysis needs regardless of aircraft type and configuration.
Aircraft Design
The j2 Universal Tool-Kit for flight physics modelling, analysis and simulation provides a data driven solution for all types of aircraft design. Users of the j2 software have repeatedly demonstrated a saving of 30% effort when compared to the development and use of in-house tools. j2 have been able to merge existing disparate toolsets into a comprehensive integrated design environment. No need to write code because we've done it for you.
Fixed Wing Design
The design of fixed wing aircraft has been around a long time but that doesn’t mean that improvements cannot be made. The j2 Universal Tool-Kit provides the ability to cover all aspects of Fixed Wing Aircraft Development from Conceptual Design through detailed design to Flight Test Planning and Analysis, and Simulation. All without having to write any more code.
Rotary Wing Design
The modelling of Rotary wing aircraft introduces additional degrees of freedom into the dynamic modelling and analysis process. To truly understand these additions it is necessary to include a Blade Element Rotary Model or BERM into the heart of the flight physics simulation. The j2 Universal Tool-Kit provides this additional component into its existing comprehensive modelling, analysis and simulation tools to enable high fidelity design capability throughout the project.
eVTOL Design
Each design idea for an eVTOL aircraft, of which Personal Air Vehicles (PAV) are one type, seems pretty unique and these evolutions in aircraft design present new and unique challenges in the design engineering, analysis and simulation disciplines. Designs can range from multi-rotor through vectored thrust and on into various lift-cruise configurations. Each individual design is an ideal candidate for the application and use of the j2 Universal Tool-Kit to create a full digital twin to evaluate handling qualities, flight dynamics and aircraft safety from a very early stage in the design, taking those concepts right through to certification all within a single Tool-Kit.
Flight Test and Aircraft Certification
The j2 Universal Tool-Kit provides the off-line capability to evaluate, test and manage the flight test program and aircraft certification process, helping to reduce effort and costs. The ability to perform envelope expansion and to test corner points with a validated and qualified flight physics model means that more evidence can be presented to support read across data acceptance. This can help to reduce the number of flight test data points required and to speed up the complete certification program.
Simulation
The j2 Universal Tool-Kit provides the capability to fly any flight physics model created using the j2 modelling environment, j2 Builder, or integrated external models using j2 Developer, on any simulator, without the need to write any code. The aircraft data models cover the entire range of fidelity from engineering models, used in a fast changing aircraft design engineering world, right through to Full Flight Simulator pilot training fidelity models, fully matched against flight test data and used in simulators certified to Level-D EASA/FAA standards. The j2 Pilot plug-in enables the models to be flown using simple Direct-X controls and outputting CIGI compliant visual information straight out of the box whilst the j2 Pilot SDK provides the capability to integrate the j2 software outputs into any simulation hardware/software configuration. If required, j2 can provide a complete j2 Host that can connect into your own architecture.
Flight Data Matching
When developing flight simulators or performing flight testing, it is necessary to tune the aircraft model to match the real aircraft. This can be performed automatically using j2 Flight, the fully integrated Flight Test Data Matching module of the j2 Universal Tool-Kit.
Risk Analysis
j2 offers a game changing advance in the application and use of digital twin capabilities for flight risk analysis with respect to any risk assessment process, accuracy of outcomes and speed of decision making. With a solid technical foundation in aircraft design and the creation of high-fidelity simulator models for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft, the j2 Universal Tool-Kit provides the ability to produce high fidelity digital twins and to fulfil any and all risk assessment requirements across a broad range of operating aircraft. Once created, the continued use of j2 digital twins provides an interrogation platform for any and all future risk assessment demands on any aircraft.
