Explanation

Headers:
- <iostream>: For input and output operations.
- <iomanip>: For formatting the output precision.
- <thread>: For using this_thread::sleep_for() to simulate real-time movement.
- <chrono>: For time duration used in sleep_for().
Function Definitions:
- void updatePosition(float& x, float& y, float throttle, float direction): Updates the position of the aircraft based on the throttle and direction.
  - Parameters:
    - x: The current x position of the aircraft.
    - y: The current y position of the aircraft.
    - throttle: The current speed of the aircraft.
    - direction: The direction in radians.
  - Uses trigonometric functions (cos and sin) to calculate the new position based on the throttle and direction.
Main Function:
- Initialization:
  - Initializes the aircraft’s position (x and y), throttle, and direction.
- User Commands:
  - 'w': Increases the throttle.
  - 's': Decreases the throttle, ensuring it doesn’t go below zero.
  - 'a': Turns the aircraft left by decreasing the direction angle.
  - 'd': Turns the aircraft right by increasing the direction angle.
  - 'q': Quits the simulation.
- Position Update:
  - Calls updatePosition() to update the aircraft’s position based on current throttle and direction.
- Real-time Simulation:
  - this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(100));: Adds a delay to simulate real-time movement and control.

Notes:

Real-Time Simulation: The sleep_for() function introduces a short delay to mimic the real-time nature of flight control.

Direction: The direction is in radians; you might want to convert to degrees for easier understanding in more complex simulations.
Throttle and Direction Control: The program provides basic controls to change the throttle and direction, simulating movement on a 2D plane.
