A Solution to the Euler Angle Transformation Equations

As simulation studies grow more elaborate and complex, the computer operator is confronted with an ever increasing number of problems not directly associated with the study at hand. This paper describes a specially designed computer for solving the coordinate transformation equations normally encountered in a six degree of freedom simulation study. This computer expands the capabilities of present analog computer consoles and eliminates the tedious task of patching the solution to these equations, while eliminating a source of human error. Besides incorporating several unique features for changing sequences and scales, this machine has accuracies and responses compatible with those found in linear equipment.
