Nowadays several areas of application need a precise 3D cartographic model, specially in the urban domain: telecommunications, urbanism, tourism and other ludicrous applications. The analysis of aerial stereoscopic photos provides a fast method to obtain a faithful relief of the observed scene, including its superstructures. This work presents the Navegador3D developed by NPDI/UFMG, ETIS/ENSEA ...

With the retirement of the space shuttle near and rising fuel prices driving a demand for more efficient travel, alternative engine technology is being heavily researched. The scramjet, or supersonic combustion ramjet, has proven to be a promising development in reusable hypersonic transportation. Flight testing these engines, however, is very expensive and no scramjet flight has yet been recov...

The design feature of KOMPSAT-2 simulator based on object oriented design methodology in terms of unified modeling language (UML) has been discussed in this paper. Also, we present how to embed flight software into the simulator. Flight software embedding for KOMPSAT-2 simulator is compared to that of the KOMPSAT-1 simulator.

A novel low-cost flight simulator with the development goals cost effectiveness and high performance has been realized for meeting the huge pilot training needs of airlines. The simulator consists of an aircraft dynamics model, a sophisticated designed low-profile electrical driven motion system with a subsided cabin, a mixed reality based semi-virtual cockpit system, a control loading system a...

SUMMARY This work first describes the development of a real-time flight simulator for an R-50 experimental model helicopter. A mathematical model of the helicopter is developed to represent the dynamics of the real system. This simulation model is used to investigate and analyze the helicopter dynamics in a hovering flight condition. The importance of a control rotor used for stability augmenta...

In this paper the role of real-time computing in the design of dependable systems for civil aircraft and in the emergence of the flight simulator as the primary design tool, in the context of the new millennium, is considered. Real time flight simulation is expected to play a critical role in the verification and validation of various flight control and guidance modes associated with autonomous...

With an aging aircraft fleet and an ongoing period of combat, the USAF must look more to ground based simulation to supplement flight training. Objective measures are needed, however, to insure that a training environment with limitations in force cueing adequately transfers back to flight. The objective of a continuing program conducted by Systems Technology, Inc. for the Air Force Research La...
