What is a flight simulation?

Question

Please let me know. Thanks.

Answer 1

Simulates Flight.

Answer 2

A flight simulation is a system that tries to copy, or simulate, the experience of flying an aircraft. It is as realistic as possible. The different types of flight simulator range from video games up to full-size cockpit replicas mounted on hydraulic (or electromechanical) actuators, controlled by state of the art computer technology.

Flight simulators are extensively used by the aviation industry for design and development and for the training of pilots and other flight deck crew in both civil and military aircraft.

Engineering flight simulators are also used by aerospace manufacturers for such tasks as:

* development and testing of flight hardware.

    

* development and testing of flight software.

    

* development and testing of aircraft systems.

Answer 4

imulation is the imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system.

imulation is used in many contexts, including the modeling of natural systems or human systems in order to gain insight into their functioning.[2] Other contexts include simulation of technology for performance optimization, safety engineering, testing, training and education. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action.*

Key issues in simulation include acquisition of valid source information about the referent, selection of key characteristics and behaviours, the use of simplifying approximations and assumptions within the simulation, and fidelity and validity of the simulation outcomes.
