Thanks for the reply. I've just looked through that section, and it seem that omega x v (eq. 1.5-13) is a recurring theme in dynamics modelling. After doing unit analysis, I found that it gives acceleration. So I guess I will try making use of it in my own equations of motion. Another thing

[Flightgear-devel] Questions on flight model

2008-09-24 Thread Ampere K.
Hello all, As part of a project at school, I have been trying to come up with equations of motion for an aerial platform, so that I may use the equations to design a control system. The issue is that I'm having trouble coupling linear and angular dynamics. Specifically, I need to describe the

In my experience the active runway is designated by the ground radio station at the field. At small fields it is the same active runway for take-off and landing. At large busy fields these might be two different (often parallel) runways. If different non-parallel runways are designated, they w
