A real-time simulation system of the aerodynamic loads generated by the wake of a rotor of a hover-capable aircraft on the aircraft itself is described, said system comprising: a cockpit seat; a simulated control device able to receive a simulated command to simulate a flight condition of the aircraft; a plurality of simulation devices able to generate a simulated representation of the flight condition; and a processing unit configured to receive a first signal associated with the command given via the control device and to generate a second control signal for the plurality of simulation devices associated with the simulated aerodynamic loads. The processing unit cyclically generates a vortex ring, associates one or more control points with the vortex ring, computes the velocity induced on the control points, moves and updates the vortex ring, and generates the second signal on the basis of the velocities induced on the control points.
