Manned flight simulation plays a key role in the design and development of modern aircraft systems where pilot interaction is an important consideration. Examples of the systems simulated during an aircraft project include the flight control system, the head-up display, the weapons system and the warnings system. Flight simulation allows the pilot to assess the system operation at an early stage in the design process, and modifications can be quickly implemented so that optimum system operation can be finalized. At British Aerospace (Military Aircraft Division), Warton, three differently configured simulators are currently utilized in the evaluation of aircraft systems.

Automation, robotic, unconventional arrangement hydrogen are the hallmarks of new trends in aircraft design. The implementation of hydrogen fuel in aircraft appears to be one of the biggest advances in the near future. Automation in aircraft control is based on the reduction of runway requirements. Among the main conclusions of the paper we include the finding that the aircraft does not have to have a classic conventional arrangement of vertical tail surfaces in order to achieve static/dynamic stability of the aircraft. The complexity of the elements of the aircraft stability and flight control system is directly depended on the weight of the aircraft. Upcoming trends in aircraft design should only based on existing concepts.
