Abstract
 Flight Simulation is a means to predict the performance characteristics of a design before manufacturing and it can be used as a training tool for pilots. This paper discusses the generation of a flight simulation model for the Advanced Aero Vehicle Group, a student design team at Missouri S&T, which will be used as a training tool for the 2008-209 Advanced Aero Vehicle Group pilot that will be flying the actual aircraft in the SAE Aero East Competition.
Jocelyn Bailey is currently a junior in aerospace engineering at Missouri S&T. She has participated in the Advanced Aero Vehicle Groups Student Design Team since her freshman year and is currently the 2008-2009 Flight Simulation Lead. Jocelyn is from Kansas City, Missouri and graduated from Park Hill South High School. She hopes to obtain her master's degree at Missouri S&T in the field of Aerodynamics.
