LATHASREE P

Dr Lathasree has been extensively involved in the flight dynamic and sub-system modelling, flight controller design and stability and control analysis and has made significant contribution to ongoing national fighter and transport aircraft programs. Her expertise is in the area of flight mechanics and control for fixed wing aircraft. Some of the major projects she has worked on include i) flight dynamic and sub-system model development for Light Combat Aircraft (TEJAS), AMCA, GHATAK and SARAS aircraft                    ii) Development of flight controller design for AMCA, iii) Development of Generic Performance model development for aircraft and missile, iv) Development of LCA, AMCA and SARAS flight simulator facilities with three window projection system and  high fidelity visual database and v) FOC upgradation of Mirage 2000 Aircraft.

As part of research in Air Traffic Management activity, she has carried out modeling, simulation and analysis for major Indian airports. Delay and capacity studies, air traffic controller workload estimation, prediction of noise in the vicinity of airports and aviation fuel consumption studies are the major outcomes of this analysis.

Her research areas of interest are flight simulation, flight control and Air Traffic Management Simulation.
