Now you can teach yourself how to apply the power of C++ to simulate multi-object aerospace vehicles. Building on your basic understanding of C++ and your familiarity with flight dynamics, this multimedia, interactive CD-ROM will lead you from simple satellite simulations to unmanned combat air vehicles and sophisticated six-degree-of-freedom simulations of intercept missiles. The 16 labs, divided into 32 training units, will bring to life polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation by hands-on experimentation with 27 increasingly more complex programs. In 38 exercises you apply your skills and check your progress against the provided solutions.The second, revised edition expands the tutorials and upgrades the software to the latest CADAC architecture, compatible with Microsoft Visual C++8.This CD-ROM complements the textbook "Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics, Second Edition", "AIAA Education Series". It shows you how aerodynamics, propulsion, flight control, and navigation and guidance are translated into C++ code and combined to simulate full-up aerospace vehicles. Besides the book, all you need is the Microsoft Visual C++ 6, 7, or 8 compiler; Microsoft Explorer 6 or 7, and CADAC-Studio for Plotting.You will be submerged into a total learning experience with video and audio clips and over 1000 hyperlinks connecting the 335 training charts. Programming progresses stepwise from the simple concept of functions to the most sophisticated C++ feature of run-time polymorphism. Best of all, the course has been evaluated by students of the University of Florida who gave it high marks for clarity and content, while they earned three academic credits.Build your modeling and simulation knowledge with Zipfel"s complete self-study courses, including Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics, Advanced Six Degrees of Freedom Aerospace Simulation and Analysis in C++, Building Aerospace Simulations in C++, and Fundamentals of Six Degrees of Freedom Aerospace Simulation and Analysis in FORTRAN and C++.
