F-16 Aggressor

The Flight Model

• Continuously variable, independent left and right ABS wheel brakes to allow realistic ground manoeuvring and to assist in cross wind takeoffs and landings.
  
  
• Continuously variable speed brakes, with realistic actuation rates.
  
  
• Automatic and manual trailing edge flap (TEF) actuation, with modelling of flap blow up at high speed.
  
  
• Rigorous undercarriage model (landing gear) allows one or more landing gear to fail to lower, and includes realistic actuation rates.
  
  
• Modelling of transonic and supersonic effects such as wave drag, buffet, and effects on stability.
  
  
• High angle of attack modelling, including deep stall and spin.
  
  
• Extensive modelling of fly-by-wire system, including G-command, angle of attack, and pitch rate mixing, rudder command, roll rate, and angle of attack limiting, based on actual F-16 FLCS design.
  
  
• Flight tests data based aerodynamic and propulsion modelling allows faithful reproduction of the F-16 flight envelope, including acceleration and deceleration characteristics.
  
  
• Atmospheric model to 80,000 feet, including the effects of changing sea level barometric pressure, temperature, lapse rate, and humidity.
  
  
• Turbine powerplant simulation considers altitude, mach number, afterburner, and throttle setting, and includes realistic spoolup rate and fuel consumption modelling.
  
  
• Correct treatment of control surface positions during all phases of flight.
  
  
• Modelling of ground effect changes to lift, drag, and pitching moment.
  
  
• Supports modelling of meteorological effects such as windshear, microburst induced down drafts etc.
  
  
• Modelling of fuel load imbalance.
