Products AeroSim Blockset Description The AeroSim Blockset is a Matlab/Simulink* block library which provides components for rapid development of nonlinear 6-DOF aircraft dynamic models. In addition to aircraft dynamics the blockset also includes environment models such as standard atmosphere, background wind, turbulence, and Earth Models (geoid reference, gravity and magnetic field).   Academic and non-commercial users (such as government organizations) may download the Aerosim Blockset free of charge. The AeroSim Blockset was designed by flight control engineers for flight control engineers. It is based on practical experience in the development of dynamic models for Unmanned Air Vehicles. Manual pilot commands can be provided to your aircraft model through the joystick interface block. Flight parameters from simulation can be sent to Microsoft Flight Simulator** or FlightGear for visual output by making use of the FS Interface blocks.   Key Features Full 6-DOF simulation of nonlinear aircraft dynamics Visual output to Microsoft Flight Simulator** and FlightGear Flight Simulator Complete aircraft models that can be customized via parameter files Sample aircraft models including the Aerosonde UAV and the North American Navion Ability to automatically generate C code from your Simulink* aircraft models using Real-Time Workshop*.
