Aircraft Dynamics - a six-degree-of-freedom aircraft simulation tool

Aircraft Dynamics

Aerodynamics:
Forces and moments acting on the aircraft simulation are modeled through a series of aerodynamic lookup tables. A variety of aerodynamic derivative properties are provided for customizing aircraft flying qualities. Properties include lift, drag, and side force components and stability and control derivatives.
Aircraft Models
A variety of aircraft types are provided for simulation or as the basis for developing a custom aircraft configuration. Properties are provided for a range of aircraft configuration settings including reference areas, lengths, weights, and inertia.
Autopilot:
A basic autopilot is included for altitude and heading hold. Control limits and stick release properties are provided for autopilot customization.
Engine Model:
Engine output is modeled through a series of performance parameters. Properties include engine efficiency, maximum horsepower, maximum thrust, engine type, and number of engines.
