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. Real-time computer graphics algorithms are developed to implement aircraft displays and visual systems, covering OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph. The book also covers techniques used in motion platform development, the design of instructor stations and validation and qualification of simulator systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn exceptional feature of \u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Flight Simulation\u003c\/i\u003e is access to a complete suite of software (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/allerton\"\u003ewww.wiley.com\/go\/allerton\u003c\/a\u003e) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBased on C code modules from an actual flight simulator developed by the author, along with lecture material from lecture series given by the author at Cranfield University and the University of Sheffield\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrings 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\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures full colour plates of images and photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples of Flight Simulation\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to senior and postgraduate students of system dynamics, flight control systems, avionics and computer graphics, as well as engineers in related disciplines covering mechanical, electrical and computer systems engineering needing to develop simulation facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid Allerton\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Computer Systems Engineering in the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Sheffield.
