A flight simulator for educational purposes has been developed to be utilized as a basic facility of theAerospace Engineering Course of Tokyo Metropolitan College of Industrial Technology (CIT). This paper dealswith research and development of this flight simulator. Modern flight simulators have been introduced not only asflight trainers but also as aircraft design tools. It is also useful to apply the flight simulator to college education bymaking use of its real time calculation of accurate responses of flight dynamics and its realistic human interfaces.In this context, the designed flight simulator was aimed at using for practices of learning dynamics, and for actualflight training of an aircraft such as the glider being manufactured by the students targeting the Birdman FlightContest. The system is comprised of a personal computer and a set and control devices. The newly developed softwareincludes functions of real-time control management, numerical integration of 6 degrees of perturbed differentialequations, virtual control panel, real-time data recording, and graphical instrument panel. Advantages ofthis simulator include easily modifiable programs, and a simple setup with minimum cost. Examples of applicationof the simulator as well as future courses of its improvement are also mentioned.
