Modeling of wind and radar for simulation in four-dimensional navigation environment

Originally presented as the author's thesis, (M.S.) in the M.I.T. Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 1976September 1976Includes bibliographical references (p. 97-100)Disturbances affecting time control precision in four-dimension navigation are modeled. Several models of wind and turbulence from the ground to ten thousand feet are developed. A distinction is made between wind mean and turbulence and between the different layers of the troposphere. These models can be used for most cases of flight simulations. A selection of simple wind and radar models is made. Real-time computer programs using a mathematical model of a Boeing 707-320B are develope
