Question 1: What is the significance of "Real-Time Simulation" in aerospace systems, and how does it differ from offline simulation in terms of performance and complexity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Real-time simulation provides immediate feedback for system testing, requiring low-latency performance and high reliability, but it is computationally intensive

Offline simulation is always preferred as it is more accurate

Real-time simulation simplifies the model but sacrifices accuracy

Real-time simulation is only necessary for gaming, not aerospace applications

Question 2: In an aerospace system, which of the following components is responsible for managing the communication between the aircraft and air traffic control?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The flight management system (FMS)

The communication management system (CMS)

The air data computer (ADC)

The radar altimeter

Question 3: What is the key advantage of using template programming in C++ for aerospace software development?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To ensure compliance with strict coding standards for aerospace software

To reduce execution time for complex mathematical models

To optimize the memory allocation and minimize the system footprint
