Computational Modelling and Simulation of Aircraft and the Environment: An In-Depth Discussion

Aircraft dynamics modelling and simulation play a crucial role in advancing aviation technology and improving safety. This comprehensive book provides a detailed guide to modelling and simulation, covering fundamental physical and mathematical principles. It equips readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to build computational models of aircraft for simulation and evaluation purposes.

The book is highly relevant to practitioners, as it takes into account the multidisciplinary nature of aerospace products and the integrated nature of the models required to represent them. Volume 1- Platform Kinematics and Synthetic Environment focuses on modelling a synthetic environment in which aircraft operate, emphasizing its spatial relationship with vehicles situated and moving within it. This volume delves into the modelling of aircraft and the interpretation of their flight dynamics.

Key features of the book include chapters on equations of motion, fixed-wing aerodynamics, longitudinal flight, gas turbines, and an introductory chapter that provides an overview of flight modelling. Additionally, it includes a concluding chapter that covers various topics such as aircraft structures and embedded systems.

This book serves as a valuable resource for senior, graduate, and postgraduate students of aerospace engineering, as well as professional engineers involved in the modelling and simulation of aircraft. It complements other titles in the Aerospace Series, offering a complementary perspective on vehicles and systems from the perspectives of mathematics, physics, and simulation.

By leveraging computational modelling and simulation, researchers and practitioners can gain a deeper understanding of aircraft behaviour, optimise design, and enhance flight safety. The book's comprehensive coverage and practical approach make it an essential tool for advancing the field of aerospace engineering.
