Preface The simulation of the aircraft dynamic is the first step and probably one of the most important in order to have the right fidelity in a full mission simulator. In this post we face the problem to determine the attitude of the aircraft once…
Preface We saw in the post Grandi’s Series a very amazing result. We are going to use that result for another and possibly more amazing findings. There is a question to be answered: does it make sense to add all integers to infinity? And what…
Preface One of my hobbies has always been math. Since I was a child I have always been fascinated by numbers: my mother told me that I did nothing but count, well before I went to primary school. In the end I really don't know…
Preface Before entering into details on some aspect of a Simulation, it is a good idea to have the perception of the big picture, i.e. an idea on a possible structure of a simulation SW running on a Flight Simulator. We concentrate on SW and…
Preface. One of the central problem in a flight simulator is the correct determination in every instant of all the cinematic parameters of the Aircraft: this includes position (according to a defined reference system), velocity and acceleration both linear and angular. This implies the resolution…
Preface Let’s now face another central argument to solve the problem to find the attitude of an aircraft in a clean, consistent, reliable way on a digital computer. To follow this post is essential some basic knowledge of complex number (see “Complex numbers” post) Quaternion,…
Complex number Let’s now recall some basic notion on Complex Numbers: let’s consider the set C ={ (x, y): x, y ∈ R}. Of each of his couples: C is called the "set of complex numbers". In set C, the following are defined: As regards…
1) Preface In geometry, Euler's rotation theorem states that, in three-dimensional space, any displacement of a rigid body such that a point on the rigid body remains fixed, is equivalent to a single rotation about some axis that runs through the fixed point. It also…
1) Preface In this post we face the problem to solve the differential equation of quaternions in order to find the attitude of an aircraft without having the "gimbal lock" problem. We will first develop the numerical solution of the differential equation with the LL…
An interesting series of post has been published related to calculation of attitude angles of an aircraft, starting from the definition of attitude angles, Euler angle, Euler parameters, quaternions and an efficient algorithm (LL-Algo) to solve the differential equation of aircraft rotation with code snippet…
