the application of a flight simulator with six degree of freedom (6dof)) in design and analysis of rocket systems is essential. the calibration of a 6dof flight simulator is a challenging problem. this paper focuses on the calibration of a flight simulator and intends to answer the following questions: 1) does experimental design have significant impact on calibration quality? if so, which expe...

A long landing is one type of flight incident that will multiply the risk of a runway excursion. It occurs frequently but receives little attention in research due to difficulty in obtaining the real flight data. The aim of this paper is to discover key flight parameter features of long landing incidents by analyzing Quick Access Recorder (QAR) data and put forward prevention measures from the ...

Learning to fly an aircraft is a complex task that requires the development of control skills and goal achievement strategies. This paper presents a behavioural cloning system that learns to successfully fly manoeuvres, in turbulence, of a realistic aircraft simulation. A hierarchical decomposition of the problem is employed where goal settings and the control skill to achieve them are learnt. ...

Because the amount of fuel usage is huge, and exhaust emissions of commercial transports is regulated under the Kyoto Protocol, how to reduce fuel consumption is an urgent problem for all airlines. The airlines urgently need a practical method to reduce fuel consumptions within constraints to accomplish the mission. The objective for the present paper is to use a model-based method and flight d...

This document bases on an innovation project by INECO aimed at developing and integrating a flight simulator in ATM (Air Traffic Management) simulation platforms. The paper documents a method for generation of aircraft flyable trajectories based on a simulation engine instead of calculated trajectories [1].
