Advances in computer, visual display, motion and force cueing and other technologies in the past two decades have had a dramatic effect on the design and use of simulation technology in aviation and other fields. The effective use of technology in training, safety investigation, engineering and scientific research requires an understanding of its capabilities and limitations. As the technology has as its primary goal the creation of virtual environments for human users, knowledge of human sensory, perceptual, and cognitive functioning is also needed. This book provides a review and analysis of the relevant engineering and science supporting the ... Read more

Reviews for Flight Simulation: Virtual Environments in Aviation
'I enjoyed reading Dr Lee's concise and clearly written book on flight simulation. The book ranges from traditional concerns such as visual flight scene simulation and the use of motion platforms to less familiar topics such as cognitive fidelity and the use of flight simulation in research. The most refreshing aspect of the book is the focus on the role ... Read more
