Modeling of Flexible Aircraft for 3D Motion-based Flight Simulators

This thesis compares the results of two of the more popular flexible aircraft modeling formulations, the mean-axes method and the fixed-axes method, for application in real-time motion simulators. First, the time-domain equations of motion for an elastic body using the fixed-axes are derived. Subseq...
