NESC Test Cases
These are implementations of the NESC test cases using the SimuPy Flight Vehicle Toolkit.
Additional information about the cases can be found at the NASA Engineering and Safety Center’s “Six degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) Flight Simulation Test Cases.”
Case 3: Tumbling brick with dynamic damping, no drag
Case 4: Dropped sphere over non-rotating, spherical Earth
Case 5: Dropped sphere over rotating, spherical Earth
Case 6: Dropped sphere over rotating, ellipsoidal Earth
Case 7: Sphere dropped through a steady wind field
Case 8: Sphere dropped through a varying wind field
Case 9: Sphere launched ballistically eastward along Equator
Case 10: Sphere launched ballistically northward along Prime Meridian
Case 11: Subsonic F-16 trimmed flight across earth
Case 13.4: Lateral offset manuever of a subsonic aircraft
Case 16: Circular F-16 flight around Equator/dateline intersection
