Flight dynamics is the science of air vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of mass, known as pitch, roll and yaw.
Description:
Flight Dynamics 3D WebGL Gimbal Model is a setup that resembles an actual real life demonstration set using to illustrate and allow exploration of the meaning of pitch, roll and yaw.
The independent axes when selected allows independent axes to be rotated without affecting the others 2 axes, while when independent is not selected allows a couple rotational model that could be used to explore the concept of gimbal lock.
In JavaScript WebGL the *.OBJ was an imported object into *.js format that renders the 3D space shuttle or aero plane 380.
This model is possible thanks to Professor Felix consultation in Singapore, as part of the edulab project
