“…These simulators supported development of aircraft operational concepts and flight testing. The engineering simulators helped in the development of new platforms which took concepts from requirements to reality [4][5]. These simulators include the use of desktop and specialized simulators to allow the engineers and the customer to get a look at how a new design might function before the detailed design stage.…”

“…Also a stable framework of tools helps development engineers to concentrate more on addressing the system design problems rather than learning new tools during the life cycle of the program. The Transport Research Facility (TRF) at NASA Langley Research Center is a good example of the simulation to flight concept approach [4]. The TRF consists of the Cockpit Motion Facility (CMF), Research System Integration Laboratory (RSIL), Flight System Integration Laboratory (FSIL) and the 757-200 flying testbed called Airborne Research Integrated Experiments System (AR-IES).…”

The developments in flight simulation since its inception are reviewed and the latest trends in the use of modeling and simulation for design of flying vehicles are presented. Mathematical model based system development is now universally recognized as a cost effective way to bring new design concepts into reality. The efforts made at CSIR-NAL in this regard over the years are also described in brief. The design of systems which require scenario based evaluation like the flight control system and avionics benefit from the use of a reconfigurable simulator developed concurrently with the aircraft. A reconfigurable simulator allows for rapid prototyping of the systems during the design phase in an integrated environment. Ideas for the implementation of Systems Engineering concepts in new and existing aircraft programs using mathematical models are discussed.
