SIMULATOR MATH MODELING EXPERIENCE
Robert Heffley has developed numerous simulator math models for a wide variety of applications. Vehicles include fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft in all phases of flight. Each model is customized for its use and host computer or simulator. The following table lists several examples developed over recent years.
