Flying Bricks | 6-DOF Verification | Aerodynamic Damping | Flight Simulation Tutorial | Section 1.5

Verified flight simulation is essential for accurately modeling aircraft dynamics. This lesson focuses on partially verifying a Python-based simulation through three check cases: a dragless sphere, a tumbling brick without aerodynamics, and a tumbling brick with aerodynamic damping. Each case is validated against benchmark data from the NASA Engineering and Safety Center. We connect the Python simulation to FlightGear to visualize the falling sphere and tumbling bricks. Additionally, we discuss updates to the Python code, identified bugs, and the critical role of numerical integrator accuracy. These verification exercises are a significant step towards full validation of our Python-based flight simulation for aircraft and rockets.

Absolutely invaluable series! I plan to make my own flight simulator in C++ and I'll be using this playlist as guidance. Keep up the good work!
