From the Back CoverPrinciples of Flight Simulation is a comprehensive guide to flight simulator design, covering the modelling, algorithms and software which underpin flight simulation. Real-time computer graphics algorithms are developed to implement aircraft displays and visual systems, covering OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph. The book covers the mathematical modelling and software which underpin flight simulation. 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 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
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 also covers techniques used in motion platform development, the design of instructor stations and validation and qualification of simulator systems. 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. Featuring full color images and photographs, Principles of Flight Simulati
"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 il. 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.. Fayez said Full of information. A must have book for those who want to be master on flight simulation and control.
