Navigation Equations | Atmosphere | Aerodynamics | Angle of Attack/Sideslip | Flight Sim - Sec 1.4
Here we add the final components to create a complete flight simulation. Building off Section 1.3, we will explain the navigation equations, incorporate an atmospheric model, explain relative velocity, angle of attack, and angle of side slip. We also incorporate an aerodynamic model of a sphere with the body to wind axes transformation. These additions are coded in our Python simulation. The new code structure is reviewed. Finally, we partially verify our simulation by dropping spheres from various altitudes.
Errata (Thank you to viewers who find and report these errors):
1. At approximately 15:55 in the Navigation Equations, the first element of the first row in the matrix, cos(theta)*cos(phi), is incorrect. It should be cos(theta) *cos(psi).
2. At 18:59, in the code, w_over_v should be w_over_u. The code however computed w/u.
