Abstract

Simulation has long been an important part of the aerospace industry. This chapter reviews two prevalent types of simulation: (1) vehicle simulations based on continuous time models of vehicle dynamics, and their applications in human in the loop simulation and in system design and integration; and (2) large-scale air traffic simulations based on a variety of simulation methods. The conclusions note current research directions in aerospace simulation, including easy model re-use and re-configuration, identification of the correct level of simulation fidelity, and better methods of linking together simulations.
