Aerospace Series Preface

The Aerospace Series aims to be a practical, topical and relevant series of books that reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the field of aerospace, not only in design and engineering but also in many related supporting activities. The topics are intended to be wide-ranging, aimed at a broad audience that includes engineering professionals and operators, engineers in academia, and allied professions such as commercial and legal executives.

This book – Flight Simulation Software: Design, Development and Testing – examines the techniques and methods used to design, develop and test software for an engineering flight simulator. The content is a reflection of the author’s working life in flight simulator development and covers the modelling of the dynamics of aircraft and aircraft systems including navigation systems, emulation of aircraft displays and visualisation of detailed 3D imagery. The book explains the underlying algorithms and methods used in flight simulation and their implementation in real-time software, with numerous examples taken from operational flight simulators. The enthusiasm of the author for his subject shines through and should be an inspiration to all practitioners in this field.

In addition to being a primer for designers of flight simulators, this book is essential reading for engineers designing aircraft systems, particularly developing software modules used in simulation, for flight crews needing a deeper understanding of ...
