Simulation – the real world of the future!
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Abstract
Flight simulation has definitely kept pace with powered flight through the past century, and its future is seemingly unlimited. To understand where the future might lie, it is important to consider the current situation, in terms of training, engineering and entertainment industry (consumer) uses of simulation. As will be shown, simulation has become a critical tool for use in aircraft design and validation, as well as playing a key and well-known role in flight training. Of course, entertainment uses of simulation are becoming more common; ranging from PC-based games to rides at the mall. By reflecting on these uses of simulation and the drivers behind them, it is possible to project into the future; both near-term, and well into the next 100 years. The projections will hopefully lead to healthy discussion and further speculation in academic and industry forums – and ultimately to new and better ideas.
