Flight Sim Dynamics, Intermediate Store and Visualization

Image
Current common Flight Sim software utilize parametric models associated with systems, propulsion elements, aircraft aerodynamics and external forces that generate state/space/time trajectories corresponding to flights.  The outputs from these models are then pushed into Visualization Systems for review and validation of existing aircraft or variants.  JSBSim is a good starting point for many research, development, training and initial designs.  http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/documentation.html   Deltas between the initial designs occur due to actual flight test dynamics that indicate the prototype models are not sufficient for production usage.  In systems control, the error is the delta between the predicted state parameters and the observed state parameters. In closed loop systems, the error state is used in the feedback state to reduce the error and converge to a desirable state space trajectory.    Larger scale models may include simulated vehicles ...
