An interactive modeling, simulation, animation and real-time control (MoSART) twin lift helicopter system environment

This paper describes an interactive modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) helicopter environment. This environment may be used for analyzing, designing, visualizing, and evaluating the performance of robust multivariable helicopter control systems. The described environment is based on Microsoft Windows '95/'98/NT, Visual C++, and Microsoft Direct-3D. This environment is a valuable tool for enhancing both research and education. Examples are presented to illustrate its utility.
