\u003cb\u003eComputational Modelling and Simulation of Aircraft and the Environment\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn in-depth discussion of aircraft dynamics modelling and simulation\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive guide to modelling and simulation from basic physical and mathematical principles, giving the reader sufficient information to be able to build computational models of aircraft for the purposes of simulation and evaluation. Highly relevant to practitioners, it takes into account the multi-disciplinary nature of aerospace products and the integrated nature of the models needed in order to represent them. \u003ci\u003eVolume 1- Platform Kinematics and Synthetic Environment\u003c/i\u003e focused on the modelling of a synthetic environment in which aircraft operate and its spatial relationship with vehicles that are situated and moving within it. This volume focuses on the modelling of aircraft and the interpretation of their flight dynamics. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey features: \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes chapters on equations of motion, fixed-wing aerodynamics, longitudinal flight and gas turbines, as well as an opening chapter that presents an overview of flight modelling and a concluding chapter that presents a number of additional topics such as aircraft structures and embedded systems. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eServes as both a student text and practitioner reference. \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFollows on from previous Aerospace Series titles, offering a complementary view of vehicles and systems from the perspectives of mathematics, physics and simulation. \u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book offers a comprehensive guide for senior, graduate and postgraduate students of aerospace engineering as well as professional engineers involved in the modelling and simulation of aircraft.
