Fundamentals of Six Degrees of Freedom Aerospace Simulation and Analysis in FORTRAN and C++

NOTE! This CD is sold for individual use only and may not be installed on a network or multi-user computer. Unfortunately, library purchases are not available at this time. This multimedia CD introduces you to high-fidelity aerospace vehicle simulations. You interact with aircraft and missile simulations, proceeding from simple ballistic trajectories to controlled and guided flight. You have the option to work either in FORTRAN, C++, or both. 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 every step until its completion. This electronic tutorial follows the publication of "Building Aerospace Simulations in C++." Both complement the textbook "Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics" in the AIAA Education Series. To teach yourself the fundamentals of six degrees of freedom simulations all you need is this CD, the textbook, the Microsoft C++ and HP FORTRAN compilers, the Microsoft Explorer 6 or 7 browser, and the CADAC Studio for plotting. To download the CADAC4 software and new source code for MS Visual C++2008, click on the Download Supporting Materials link at the top of the page. Follow the instructions; no password is needed for either CADAC4 software or the source code Software Update. You will be submerged into a total learning experience with 111 video and audio clips, and over one thousand hyperlinks connecting the 702 training charts. A total of 293 hands-on exercises will help you explore the computer models of aircraft
