Problem simulation of canard wing for A-003 and A-004 Little Joe apollo capsule any idea ?

[Woodylepic]

I'm trying to simulate the canard wing for post deployment of the chute (early landing system) for Little Joe capsule (BP23 and SC-002) to get a correct angle of deployment of the chute,

It is possible to get a wing whit an "angle" or something that can simulate this ? any idea ?


thank

You could write a lift function for the whole capsule and implement the effects of the canards there.

Which is bound to be a cakewalk.

I wouldn't say so... but it is the best way I can think of implementing this behavior. you would just need to add the additional moments of the deployed canards to the moments of the clean capsule.

The lift of the capsule was made similar to apollo projet and work perfecly but I got some problem to get a descent canard wing configuration, I have made a little wing at position of the canard but that not working very good (the capsule move like a pendulum and was not oriented correcly for chute deployment ? it is possible to get a wing orieted ?
