ASSESSMENT OF THE LANDING CAPABILITIES OF A FLEXIBLE HIGH-ALTITUDE PLATFORM AT LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL-DIRECTIONAL WIND DISTURBANCES

Y.J. Hasan, DLR Institute of Flight Systems, Germany

This paper deals with landing simulations of the flexible high-altitude platform developed by DLR at different wind conditions. The test cases comprise constant wind, wind shear and gusts, each from different horizontal directions between 0° and 180°and encountered at different altitudes. Moreover, light continuous turbulence is superimposed in all cases.
