Credit: Joby Aviation As electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft move closer to commercial service, developers are increasingly leaning on simulation to overcome challenges that span ...

Bringing together diverse topics in flight mechanics, aeroelasticity, and automatic controls, this book addresses the core issues involved in the dynamics, modeling, simulation, and control of ...

The development of future aircraft requires new modelling methods and the consideration of effects that have played a subordinate role in previous conventional configurations. These include, for ...

Wanted in next 20 years: about 500,000 airline pilots and 600,000 maintenance technicians to safely fly and maintain a world fleet of 40,000 highly complex aircraft carrying billions of passengers.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) will not be operational for years to come, but the three US services that will fly the stealthy single-engined fighter have already started to ...

Software-based simulation and modeling tools for aircraft can be divided, roughly, into three interrelated functional categories: design and model building, analysis or problem solving, and ...
