Abstract:

The background of the development, concept, problem description, theoretical framework of Computational Flight Mechanics (CFM) as a new branch of Flight Mechanics in the information era have been depicted in detail, in which the important roles of computer science and technology (such as the applications of software engineering, computer network, visualization, multi media, Expert Systems and so on), experiment design approach, numerical calculation method, modeling and simulation, flight environment, etc. are highlighted. Finally, some proposals for the software and hardware systems of CFM laboratory are provided from the view point of practical purpose. The following parts are included: (1) Introduction, in which it is pointed out that there are three major phases of the development of Flight Mechanics: Traditional Flight Mechanics, Auto Flight Mechanics and Computational Flight Mechanics.(2) Flight Mechanics and Computer, in which the important roles of advanced computer science and technology in flight mechanics research have been discussed, and the definition of CFM is given.(3) Problem description of CFM, in which a hierarchical structure of problem description for CFM is introduced.(4) Theoretical framework of CFM, in which the modeling theory and method, numerical calculation method and algorithm, experiment design method, and some associated computer technologies are discussed in detail.(5) Computation systems of CFM, in which some proposals for the software and hardware systems, and local area network are provided.
