What is it about?

Now you can take a graduate course in high-fidelity aerospace vehicle M&S without sitting in the classroom at the University of Florida. Both student and teacher can use this course to interact with aircraft and missile simulations, proceeding from simple ballistic trajectories to controlled and guided flight. Assuming familiarity with aerospace systems, the 13 training units teach flight mechanics, aerodynamics, propulsion, seekers, guidance and control, with illustrations chosen from the provided simulations. You follow in the footsteps of the expert, building, analyzing, and verifying the simulation at every step until its completion. This tutorial is the second of three related courses published in the AIAA Self-Study Series.

Why is it important?

With all the computer power at your fingertips you should be modeling your aerospace concepts in six degrees of freedom.

Perspectives

I taught this course several times at UF with great student feedback.
