SESAME-A System of Equations for the Simulation of Aircraft in a Modular Environment.

Abstract

A system of equations has been developed for the simulation of an aircraft's motion in real time using a digital computer. Those parts of the mathematical model common to all aircraft have been created as a set of Fortran subroutines, leaving the user to create only a small group of routines specifically to describe his aircraft. The equations employed are defined and the computer implementation described in detail. The report can be used as a handbook and user guide but as the routines described are not specific to real-time simulation they could be used as a basis for a general mathematical model of an aircraft for use on any computer which supports Fortran.
