Control an Aircraft Continuously

Overview​

User capability

Accept continuous player input throughout free flight

User

An AeroSim player

What the user can do

Accept continuous player input throughout free flight

Why the user benefits

The player receives one coherent, observable capability.

User need

The player needs AeroSim to accept continuous player input throughout free flight.

In scope

Accept continuous player input throughout free flight

Tasks​

AEROSIM-TS-3Planning status: Done

Capture continuous flight controls and control ownership

Supported pitch, roll, yaw, and thrust inputs produce normalized authoritative control commands, while input loss or ownership changes are surfaced without silently transferring control.

  • ComponentWeb Application — browser input adapters and control-ownership state
  • Depends onAEROSIM-TS-75, AEROSIM-TS-82
  • RequirementsFR-0005, NFR-0006
AEROSIM-TS-96Planning status: Done

Apply control commands through the responsive flight loop

Each valid authoritative control command affects subsequent aircraft motion continuously within the declared timing and resource budgets.

  • ComponentWeb Application / Deterministic flight runtime — Shared flight-core — control-command application and simulation update loop
  • Depends onAEROSIM-TS-3
  • RequirementsFR-0006, NFR-0001, NFR-0003, NFR-0005, NFR-0010

Acceptance outcomes​

  1. 01

    Supported control inputs update the active aircraft continuously during free flight.

  2. 02

    Loss or change of input is shown and handled without silently transferring control.

Functional requirements and measurable criteria​

FR-0005

accept continuous controls

The system shall accept continuous pitch, roll, yaw, and thrust values during flight.

Acceptance 01

Givena valid current Feature configuration and defined initial state

Whenthe relevant user action or simulation step occurs

Thenthe observable result must accept continuous pitch, roll, yaw, and thrust values during flight

EvidenceFuture reviewed automated and browser evidence must verify this outcome against the current requirement.

Acceptance 02

Givenan invalid or unsupported input at the same boundary

Whenthe system evaluates the input

Thenthe system must reject or recover visibly without publishing a misleading result

EvidenceFuture negative-path tests and browser evidence must verify explicit failure or recovery behaviour.

FR-0006

apply control response

The system shall apply valid control changes to subsequent aircraft motion.

Acceptance 01

Givena valid current Feature configuration and defined initial state

Whenthe relevant user action or simulation step occurs

Thenthe observable result must apply valid control changes to subsequent aircraft motion

EvidenceFuture reviewed automated and browser evidence must verify this outcome against the current requirement.

Acceptance 02

Givenan invalid or unsupported input at the same boundary

Whenthe system evaluates the input

Thenthe system must reject or recover visibly without publishing a misleading result

EvidenceFuture negative-path tests and browser evidence must verify explicit failure or recovery behaviour.

Non-functional requirements

Risks​

  • Risk

    Prototype behaviour may not meet the current acceptance outcomes.

Original source and prototype evidence​

Prototype and discovery boundary

Existing application behaviour is discovery evidence only; it establishes no current Scope approval, implementation approval, acceptance, or release state.
