The functional design of a special-purpose digital computer for real-time flight simulation / by Louis M. Krasny.

To determine the ability of a moderate-sized digital computer, such as the M.I.T. TX-O, to solve a complex real-time fightl sinulation problem, the complete equations for the unrealistic simulation of the F-100A aircraft have been programmed using the TX-O order code. From an analysis of this progra...

Description
Summary:To determine the ability of a moderate-sized digital computer, such as the M.I.T. TX-O, to solve a complex real-time fightl sinulation problem, the complete equations for the unrealistic simulation of the F-100A aircraft have been programmed using the TX-O order code. From an analysis of this program, specific recommendations are made for logical modifications of the TX-O to facilitate real-time simulation ... Although the emphasis of this study has been on the specific requirements of the F-100A problem, the design methodology and the various design trade-offs described should be applicable to the functional analysis of other simulation problems of greater or lesser complexity.
