Publisher's Synopsis
A simple technique is presented which forms a cubic grid model of a helicopter from an Aircraft Modeling Code (AMC) input file. The AMC input file defines the helicopter fuselage as a series of polygonal cross sections. The cubic grid model is used as an input to a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) code to obtain predictions of antenna performance on a generic helicopter model. The predictions compare reasonably well with measured data. Cravey, Robin L. Langley Research Center NASA-TM-107679, NAS 1.15:107679 RTOP 505-64-70-01...
