The Interactive Physics Flight Simulator
نویسنده
چکیده
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 airplane. All the actions on plane controls are analyzed and explained in terms of equilibrium states of the system. The main objective of the obtained simulations is in making the physical phenomenon understandable to students with a basic knowledge of mechanics and not involved in specialized aerodynamics studies.

متن کاملInteractive Design and Simulation Platform for Flight Vehicle Systems Development
The need for integrated systems development arises from complexity of a system. This paper presents an interactive design and simulation platform for flight vehicle systems development. Its “connect-and-play” capability and adaptability enable “on-line” interaction between design and simulation during the integrated development. As a case study, the implementation of the proposed platform and a...

This paper proposes a new method for a three dimensional fuzzy model of pilot's performance for guarding a territory with a short-distance between two aircraft in an air combat task with a gun. A third-order nonlinear point mass vehicle model is considered for an aircraft's flight dynamics. The desired value of the velocity, the flight path and the heading angles are obtained from some derived ...
