A real-time simulation system (1) of the aerodynamic loads generated by the wake of a rotor (2) of a hover-capable aircraft (3) on the aircraft (3) itself is described, said system (1) comprising: a cockpit seat (10) for a pilot; a simulated control device (11) of the aircraft (3) able to receive a simulated command from the pilot to simulate a flight condition of the aircraft (3); simulation means (13) able to generate a simulated representation of the flight condition; and a processing unit (14) configured to receive as input a first signal associated with the command given via the control device (11) and to generate and output a second control signal for the simulation means (13) associated with the simulated aerodynamic loads. The processing unit (14) cyclically generates a vortex ring (30) with a radius (r), associates a number of control points (A, B, C and D) with the vortex ring (30), computes the velocity induced on the control points (A, B, C and D), moves and updates the vortex ring (30), and generates the second signal on the basis of the velocities induced on the control points (A, B, C and D) by the vortex rings (30). |
