This project was presented as AIAA 2005-0230 and concerns coupling a non-inertial CFD code with a 6 DOF (degree of freedom) rigid body dynamics simulator. Quaternions are used for attitude orientation. The result is a computational aircraft flight dynamics simulation. The paper shows flight maneuvers such as rolls, loops, and thin-strip Magnus lift production.
