Another important things to consider for simulation is
the thrust model. In this work, we use standard model of
propeller engine as explained in Ref. [6]. The model is
divided into two modes, the first is the static thrust, i.e.
the thrust produced by engine before the vehicle moves
(V = 0), and the second is the dynamic thrust, the thrust
produced when the vehicle is moving. The static thrust is
defined as
P
Ts = η (29)
Vstall
and the dynamic thrust (V > 0) is
P
Td = η(30)
V + Vstall
Where η denotes the propeller efficiency, P is the engine
power, and Vstall is the stalling speed. The thrust direction
is assumed to be parallel to xb , which yields Tx = T and Fig. 15. Simulation result: virtual reality picture of WiSE motion at

Dengan memperhatikan hasil-hasil yang telah diperoleh,
dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan metode full hidro-
statik untuk simulasi gerak pesawat WiSE selama berada
di permukaan air layak digunakan. Sementara penggu-
naan metode Savitsky dan Shuford planing menghasilkan
error. Salah satu solusi untuk dapat menerapkan metode
planing adalah dengan mengasumsikan sudut sikap konstan
(θ = c, c > 0). Namun jika hal ini dilakukan hasil simu-
lasi tidak realistis, sebab kenyataanya sudut sikap pesawat
selalu berubah selama geraknya.
