Abstract
The inclusion of a realistic representation of atmospheric turbulence in ground-based flight simulation is an essential ingredient in providing the pilot with an authentic working environment, in addition to its possible importance in assessing the handling qualities of the particular aircraft being simulated. The Royal Aircraft Establishment Bedford and Newcastle upon Tyne Polytechnic have collaborated in the development of a model of turbulence suitable for digital simulation. As a FORTRAN subroutine it has been extensively validated and has an established reputation. This paper discusses the principal features of the model and describes the methods used to develop a micro-computer-based implementation designed to run in parallel with the main simulation. The conclusion is that a successful implementation is possible using an inexpensive standard system.
