DESCRIPTION:
Real-time computer graphics algorithms are developed to implement aircraft displays and visual systems, covering OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph. The detailed equations of motion used to model aircraft dynamics are developed and then applied to the simulation of flight control systems and navigation systems. The book covers the mathematical modelling and software which underpin flight simulation. The book also covers techniques used in motion platform development, the design of instructor stations and validation and qualification of simulator systems.An exceptional feature of Principles of Flight Simulation is access to a complete suite of software ( wiley/go/allerton ) to enable experienced engineers to develop their own flight simulator – something that should be well within the capability of many university engineering departments and research organisations.Based on C code
"Excellent book, some errors and ambiguity" according to T. R. Turton. I've worked in flight simulation several times during my career, and am currently back in the field.I was looking for a good reference for state of the art info on flight simulation and this seemed to meet that requirement. I'm only about a quarter of the way through it so far, and based on that, I feel it was well worth the price. However, I'm a bit disappointed at a few errors I've found, and the fact that I can't seem to find an Errata sheet anywhere on Wiley's website.The snippets of C code included provide very good illustration of how one might code portions of a simulation, but no one should buy this book with the idea that they. Good and necesary overview Jaime Sotelo I have been working on flight simulation around 10 years i think this is a good guide for work in this area it covers many differents aspects and refer to differents sources for further reference. Althought it has some detectable errors but the general balance is positive.. Full of information Fayez A must have book for those who want to be master on flight simulation and control.
Real-time computer graphics algorithms are developed to implement aircraft displays and visual systems, covering OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph. Principles of Flight Simulation is a comprehensive guide to flight simulator design, covering the modeling, algorithms, and software which underpin flight simulation. The book covers the mathematical modeling and software which underpin flight simulation. An exceptional feature of Principles of Flight Simulation is access to a complete suite of software to enable experienced engineers to develop their own flight simulator - something that should be well within the capability of many university engineering departments and research organizations. The book brings together mathematical modeling, computer graphics, real-time software, flight control systems, avionics, and simulator validation into one of the faster growing application areas in engineering. Featuring full color images and photographs, Principles of Flight Simulation will appeal to senior and postgraduate students of system dynamics, flight control systems, avionics, and computer graphics, as wel
