SDI Engineering has developed an aerial refueling modeling and simulation tool using multi-body dynamics methods
in MATLAB, SimuLink and Simscape Multibody. This development continues under a contract sponsored by NAVAIR in order to better
understand the dynamics of the hose and drogue, reeling mechanism, probe, and the resulting loads during aerial
refueling operations. The software can be used in the detailed analysis of aerial refueling operations for new
technologies, incident investigations, evaluations of flight control or maneuver strategies, and probe loads predictive
analysis for design, flight testing and certification.
