ZFT says; "Simulation is nothing but one big con job but apart from the obvious there is one other massive benefit. It is the perfect and only environment to do things wrong, either unintentionally and hopefully learn from it or deliberately just to see the result (we have a FSTD with very accurate post stall modelling and every trainee experiences a deep tail stall and recovery) but of course, the FSTD must be as accurate as it can be else the FSTD is always wrong, not the trainee!"


I have a question to both ZFT and AirRabbit.


How can you be sure that the post stall modelling is correct and that your simulator replicates the real aircraft's behaviour post stall? It is my understanding that no large transport aircraft is tested in the post stall regime (especially in a deep stall) and therefore all simulators use extrapolated data, aerodynamic modelling and wind tunnel data.


I would be very interested in your views.
