Extract

Flight Simulation has made good steady progress over the years, and is now being given significant credit for its ability to reproduce aircraft flying qualities in a device on the ground. However, the simulator world is tending to claim too much credit for its present level of achievement. This talk is an attempt to review the present state of the art against an accurate comparison with aircraft flying qualities, to highlight the deficiencies and to appeal to the users of simulators to consolidate their present gains before proceding further. This paper deals only with civil fixed-wing transport aircraft above 20 000 kg maximum weight.
