商品簡介
Focusing on equations of motion for aircraft dynamics, real-time computer graphics algorithms for aircraft displays, and OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph software, this primer provides information and C code modules that will enable colleges and universities to build their own flight simulator at the level of a distributed network of computers and also at the level of software modules. After a detailed historical review, chapters progress from principles of modeling and aircraft dynamics, to simulation of flight control and aircraft navigation systems, aircraft displays, model validation, and visual systems. A companion web site contains a complete suite of software to enable experienced engineers to develop their own flight simulator. The book is illustrated with b&w photos and illustrations of equipment, plus a few color images. It is for senior and postgraduate students of system dynamics, flight control systems, and computer graphics, as well as engineers in related disciplines. Allerton is professor of computer systems engineering at the University of Sheffield. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
