heal.abstract	This thesis focuses on the development of a versatile and efficient simulation code for the Peters-He finite-state dynamic inflow model. The inflow model will be integrated with Blade Element Theory (BET) to analyze helicopter performance in both forward flight and hover conditions. The performance of this model will be evaluated by comparing it to a free wake lifting line model, which offers higher fidelity but is computationally intensive and unsuitable for real-time applications. The aim is to demonstrate that increasing the number of states in the Peters-He model allows for performance predictions in helicopters that closely match those of a free wake lifting line model, while significantly reducing computational demands. This makes the method potentially suitable for real-time applications, such as flight dynamics simulations and control systems assessment studies. Although similar code models have been developed, they are often part of proprietary or restricted university code bases, limiting their accessibility. To address this significant gap, the code, and simulations developed in this thesis are made open-source, to benefit the broader academic and engineering community.	en
