A Flight Dynamic Simulation Program in Air-Path Axes Using ACSL (Advanced Continuous Simulation Language).

Abstract

The six degrees of freedom dynamic equations of motion have been programmed in the Advanced Continuous Simulation Language(ACSL) for use in aircraft simulations at ARL. Air-path axes were chosen for the integration of the force equations, and body axes for the integration of the moment equations. The use of quaternions for the determination of the direction cosines has been described.
