Florida Institute of Technology student team wins Northrup Grumman Best in Show award
Florida Institute of Technology student team wins Northrup Grumman Best in Show award for the College of Engineering!
A student team from FIT designed and constructed a UAV as their final year Design Project. Merlin Flight Simulation Group played a critical role in the design validation. The design team sent Merlin an aircraft geometry input file, which was then simulated in the requested flight profile, Merlin then sent back a datalog of the simulation for analysis - this included difficult to model flight modes such as take-off, landing, and stability phenomena (e.g. phugoid and dutch roll).
