LSU Master's Theses
The thesis develops a graphic interface for a dynamic system simulation implemented in the SIMULINK environment. The dynamic system is a B747-200 modeled as a rigid body with six degrees of freedom. The equations and database of aerodynamic coefficients over the complete flight envelope were provided by NASA’s Langley Research Center for the research project “Aircraft Safety: Managing Control Upsets.” The purpose of the interface is to allow the user to “fly the plane from the keyboard;” i.e., interact with the simulation by manipulating, from the keyboard, the main control surfaces and engine thrust and observing the performance of the …
