Inhaltsangabe

While many available texts cover some aspect of simulation, this book is unique in that it brings all the tools required to write a flight simulation mathematical model together in one reference. As one reviewer of the text stated, the breadth of material in this book will make it valuable for a wide range of engineering applications, not simply simulation. The organization of the book makes it the perfect reference guide, as chapter after chapter follows a logical build-up to a complete aircraft model. The book begins with a discussion that focuses the reader on the types of flight simulation that are possible. From there, chapters are dedicated to vectors, vector resolution and the many axis systems used in helicopter analysis. A brief chapter on atmospheric modeling precedes a critical section devoted to the importance of establishing the distinction between inertial velocity, wash velocity and aerodynamic velocity.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Mark E. Dreier holds a B.S. and a M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University. Dreier is currently a staff engineer in the simulation group at Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. He is also an adjunct lecturer at the University of Texas at Arlington and an invited lecturer for short courses at Penn State. In his thirty plus years of experience, he has worked on digital, analogue, and hybrid simulations of helicopters, tiltrotors, and wind turbines. He has written many technical papers on simulation and presented many lectures on soft computing. He is the author of the Fuzzy Logic Development Kit (FULDEK.) Dreier is a senior member of the AIAA and the American Helicopter Society, and is a licensed pilot who enjoys introducing his students to real flight.
