Inhaltsangabe

Introduction to Helicopter and Tiltrotor Flight Simulation, Second Edition brings the tools required to write a flight simulation mathematical model together in one comprehensive reference. Twenty-two chapters comprise the main body of the text. Each chapter builds on the lessons of the previous chapter and lays the foundation for the chapter. The appendices supply the building material. Dedicated chapters on the aerodynamics and dynamics of fuselages, wings, propellers, rotors, landing gear, engines, drive trains, controls, and aerodynamic interference precede the final chapters on overall organization, information flow, and trimming methods. Fourteen appendices provide important reviews of numerical and analytical techniques in the calculus, linear algebra, rotor basics, Biot-Savart law, momentum theory, units, and humorous axioms about flight. The text supports the lessons with many examples, 400 illustrations, a problem set, and a series of over 40 demonstration programs that bring the equations to life. The text can be used for senior-level and graduate-level instruction and as a reference for the practicing engineer. The text presents the material in an accessible, fun, and easy-to-understand style.

Über diesen Titel

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. He currently consults at AVX Aircraft Company in Benbrook, Texas. Dreier is an adjunct lecturer at the University of Texas at Arlington and an invited lecturer for short courses at Penn State and the American Helicopter Society, International, which appointed him as a Technical Fellow in 2008. In 2010, Penn State named him as a McCormick Lecturer. He is the recipient of the AIAA DeFlorez Award for Flight Simulation (2012) and holder, as a team member, of four U.S. patents. In his 40-plus years of experience, he has worked on digital, analog, 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 AIAA and the American Helicopter Society, International, and is a licensed pilot who enjoys introducing his students to real flight.
