Interdisciplinary interactions and dynamic systems integration

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Projections for aeronautical development in the near future emphasize strong dynamic interactions among aircraft technical disciplines and a promise of dynamic systems integration as a central feature in the creation of future aircraft. This paper examines these trends using two aircraft types as examples. The first example is a large helicopter that exhibits an interacting array of structural, rotor dynamic, control system and human pilot dynamics. The second example is a hypersonic aircraft, such as the National AeroSpace Plane.
