Automated Aerial Refueling. Delivery Order 0020: DC-8 Simulation Model

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to provide a preliminary air refueling tanker aircraft model in the D-Six desktop simulation environment capable of flying a racetrack pattern and a small number of simple maneuvers. The aircraft used is a relatively simple DC-8 model, pictured in the simulation as a KC-135. This model will enable research to be conducted on automated aerial refueling algorithms by engineers at the Air Force Research Laboratory.
