Generating an Out-the-Window Cockpit Image with the iAPX 432.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis investigation is to determine if a small computer can generate graphic images in a real time environment. The specific computer to be used is the Intel iAPX 432 Micromainframe. The graphic images are to be used as part of an aircraft simulator in a communication performance evaluation test. This thesis investigation contains three areas of study. The first investigation is to study the object-oriented architecture of the Intel iAPX 432. The second investigation is to examine the requirements of the simulator and produce design and implementation details. The third investigation is aimed at studying the F111 DIG ground terrain data base and producing a new data base that the small simulator could use.
