December 20, 2002 - Wright Flyer model complete
Just in time for the start of the
Centenial year of powered flight, FlightGear ships with a
rather nice model of the 1903 Wright Flyer. The flight
dynamics model was developed by Michael Selig at the
University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. The visual model
started life as an MSFS aircraft, but was substantially
reworked, enhanced, and animated by Jim Wilson of the
FlightGear project.
December 20, 2002:
Two papers were recently presented at the European Space
Agency ASTRA 2002 conference. Both projects used FlightGear
as the frame work for plugging in their research. One paper
involves navigation of autonomous vehicles on foreign planets
using terrain recognition; the other discusses the development
of a fuzzy autopilot designed to control an autonomous flying
vehicle operating in the Mars atmosphere. Both can be found
in the Papers section of the
Documenation page
