Reconfigurable LPV Control Design for B-747-100/200 Longitudinal Axis

The Interactive Physics Flight Simulator

This paper describes a modelling approach to the dynamics of the airplane flight aimed at designing and realizing a simple but realistic ‘‘flight simulator,’’ able to mimic the longitudinal behaviour of a real airplane. The model is implemented by using the Interactive Physics simulation environment. The simulator is used to reproduce all the phases of a complete flight of a light commercial ai...

Flight Simulator Training: Assessing the Potential

Mental workload is an important concept and has been proven to be a precursor to situation awareness and operative performance. This thesis describes methods to measure mental workload through self-ratings and psychophysiological measurements. Similarities and differences in psychophysiological reactions and rated mental workload between simulated and real flights are described. The consequence...

Enhancing The Flight Simulator Experience Using HLA

Commercial Flight Simulator Packages often lack the ability for the player to know where he is on a geographical scale. Unless the player is familiar with the location of the flight there is no means to determine the direction that he must fly to reach his destination. This paper will show how the capabilities of the HLA regime allows a geographical map display to be linked directly to the flig...
