In-Flight Simulators and Fly-by-Wire/Light Demonstrators
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-53996-6 (ISBN)
This book offers the first complete account of more than sixty years of international research on In-Flight Simulation and related development of electronic and electro-optic flight control system technologies ("Fly-by-Wire" and "Fly-by-Light"). They have provided a versatile and experimental procedure that is of particular importance for verification, optimization, and evaluation of flying qualities and flight safety of manned or unmanned aircraft systems. Extensive coverage is given in the book to both fundamental information related to flight testing and state-of-the-art advances in the design and implementation of electronic and electro-optic flight control systems, which have made In-Flight Simulation possible.
Written by experts, the respective chapters clearly show the interdependence between various aeronautical disciplines and in-flight simulation methods. Taken together, they form a truly multidisciplinary book that addresses the needs of not just flight test engi
neers, but also other aeronautical scientists, engineers and project managers and historians as well. Students with a general interest in aeronautics as well as researchers in countries with growing aeronautical ambitions will also find the book useful.The omission of mathematical equations and in-depth theoretical discussions in favor of fresh discussions on innovative experiments, together with the inclusion of anecdotes and fascinating photos, make this book not only an enjoyable read, but also an important incentive to future research. The book, translated from the German by Ravindra Jategaonkar, is an extended and revised English edition of the book Fliegende Simulatoren und Technologieträger , edited by Peter Hamel and published by Appelhans in 2014.

"The work is much more than an atlas of the world's research aircraft. ... the book should be in the permanent library of every organization that owns or operates such an In-Flight Simulator or demonstrator aircraft. In particular, each test pilot school would serve its students and faculty well by procuring this book. It serves effectively as introduction to the technical aspects of in-flight simulation and a comprehensive reference for anyone involved in modern projects in the field." (Mark Jones, Cockpit Magazine, January-June, 2019)
"Das Buch ... bietet einen Überblick über 50 Jahre internationale Forschung auf dem Gebiet der fliegenden Simulatoren und die damit zusammenhängende Entwicklung der Fly-by-Wire- und Fly-by-Light-Technologien. ... Detaillierte technische Beschreibungen wechseln sich ab mit Erfahrungen aus dem Flugbetrieb, die von den direkt Beteiligten informativ und interessant wiedergegeben werden ..." (Dr. Jürgen Klenner, in: DGLR-Mitgliedermagazin Luft- und Raumfahrt, Heft 3, 2017)
"This book provides a historical account of the aircraft that have been developed and flown as in-flight simulator and fly-by-wire/light demonstrators ... . This book is an impressive body of work and the editor and contributing authors should be commended on the level of detail provided. ... will appeal to engineers and others practicing in the field." (Dr. Stephen Carnduff, Aerospace, December, 2017)
