Our aircraft model will be a three-dimensional point mass model. This models the translational dynamics in three dimensions. Translation is motion in the x, y, and z directions. An aircraft controls its motion by changing its orientation with respect to the wind (banking and angle of attack) and by changing the thrust its engine produces. In our model, we assume that our airplane can instantaneously change its orientation and thrust for control purposes. This simplifies our model but at the same time allows us to simulate ...
