Simulation of Aircraft Behaviour on and Close to the Ground,

Abstract

This AGARDograph provides a guide to the current state of the technology of simulating fixed-wing aircraft handling qualities and performance on or close to the ground, and indicates some of the pitfalls which may prevent an adequate implementation. The scope of possible applications in both aircraft design work and pilot training is indicated and the requirements for mathematical model definitions and implementations are discussed. The current requirements for visual and motion systems, cockpit cueing, and software modelling are also reviewed, and illustrated with specific examples in areas of aircraft research and development studies and pilot training uses. The conclusions identify needs for further improvements and additional data acquisition. Keywords: Flight characteristics; Flight simulation, Flight simulators, and Pilot training.
