Flight simulation
Simulation is the technique by which a physical system can be represented mathematically by a computer program for the solution of a problem. This technique of problem solving is used when it is not feasible due to time, cost, or safety to conduct specific tests using the actual physical system, suc...

Simulation is the technique by which a physical system can be represented mathematically by a computer program for the solution of a problem. This technique of problem solving is used when it is not feasible due to time, cost, or safety to conduct specific tests using the actual physical system, such as an aircraft. A mathematical model is developed for the physical system using knowledge of the physical laws describing the problem. This model is then programmed on the computer to generate the problem solution. The digital computer program represents a discrete approximation of the real world system which is usually continuous. My contribution to this work involves, searching and collecting information, studying a case about environmental simulation, implementing a miscellaneous function that is used by pilots during their training on a flight simulator, presenting the history of flight simulation, writing the conclusion and raising questions at the end. In my opinion, raising question and pointing out problems is as important as finding answers and solutions. |
