To make a simulation can take some hours or even days, therefore, is more efficient to design and execute a limited number of computer approximations to know the behaviour of the data and be able to get the rest of the results that have not been calculated in the previous simulation. This way is much faster, although not as accurate. The data approximation methods use a set of known values from some points to interpolate other points located in the same area of study, which value is not known. The interpolation method by kriging to predict the response at any point of the design is suitable for this study because it's very accurate, also it allows to calculate the error, even though it requires some previous knowledge of the data to be treated, does not require very complex calculations. Taking all these ideas present, in this work, we have studied a few data to obtain an approximation function that facilitates the calculation of future research. Understanding how to adjust the data to calculate approximate values for any situation. We have created a model for computer executions that performs calculations with kriging interpolation for spherical, exponential and Gaussian semivariogram models, and it shows the results numerically and visually with some diagrams. After performing different tests with different data obtained from some fields such as geology or medicine, it has been proved that the model makes the process very balanced in terms of accuracy of the results and the time of calculation used. Finally, we have applied to a case with real data for the preliminary design of aircraft engines, specifically to calculate the manufacturing tolerances of the blades of the turboprop. At last, we have named future research lines with this study and the program created as a starting point.

This project has been developed with the principal aim of simulating CPDLC(Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications) between ATC (Air Traffic Controller) and RPAS (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems). Communication between ATC and conventional aircraft is possible too. The uprising number of users in airspace compels the aerial communications to reinvent themselves for not collapsing the assigned frequency band. As a solution it is proposed CPDLC communications, an application that allows the direct exchange of text-based messages between a controller and a pilot. The most direct benefits in utilization of CPDLC are: 1) Air traffic management is more efficient. 2) Increase of airspace capacity. 3) Communication, surveillance and route conformance monitoring improvement. 4) Voice channel congestion reduction. The CPDLC code developed is integrated with ATM(Air Traffic Management) simulation program "eDEP", provided by Eurocontrol and it is also integrated with Icarus group research simulations. The project is divided in two main parts: a) Encoding library messages. It has been done the effort of collecting all the possible messages that can be exchanged between ATC and pilot. Messages have been encoded to byte level and it has been prepared to be sent through the net. b) Program graphic development. It has been developed a friendly and understandable graphical environment to be able to interact with a computer for sending the messages in a correct way. As a long term objective, it is expected that CPDLC program can be evaluated by real air traffic controllers in ATM simulations where RPAS and conventional aviation is mixed in non-segregated airspace. TFG will be useful for extracting conclusions about benefits provided by CPDLC and to know the real workload that CPDLC system provides to the air traffic controller.

El objetivo de este proyecto es diseñar, mediante un código comercial (Matlab y Simulink), un simulador de vuelo para helicóptero, a partir de las ecuaciones linealizadas del movimiento de dicha aeronave.

Aquest projecte tracta sobre el desenvolupament d’un software que permeti enllaçar un simulador de vol i una cabina real de DC9, situada al Institut de la Illa dels Banyols al Prat de Llobregat - Barcelona. Mitjançant una llibreria externa al simulador, s’estableix una comunicació entre aquest i el programa en qüestió. Per una banda s’aconsegueix extreure les dades que es necessiten mostrar en la cabina del DC9 i per l’altra es poden generar certes fallades en el simulador a mode de pràctica per als estudiants que utilitzin el software. El programa ha estat desenvolupat mitjançant el llenguatge C# a través de la plataforma Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, versió 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel de ©2010 Microsoft Corporation., Anglès: This project is developing software capable of binding a flight simulator and a real DC9 cabin, located on the Island Institute of Banyols in Prat de Llobregat - Barcelona. Using an external library, it establishes a communication between the simulator and the program. On one hand, it extracts the data needed to show in the cabin of the DC9. On the other hand, certain faults can be generated in the simulator as a practice for students using the software. The program has been developed with C# language, through Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 platform, version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel of ©2010 Microsoft Corporation.
