Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of the DRAGVAM87 model in Modula-2, using the Hood designmethodology, and the subsequent validation of thereal-time model running on a personal computer. Thework demonstrates that the execution speed of themodel is not compromised while overall validity ofthe simulation is maintained. The model wasinterfaced with an existing simulation of the SeaHarrier head-up display (hud) in order to providevisual cues of the aircraft's motion during pilotedflight.
