Visual flight simulation system based on Matlab/FlightGear

This article is based on the needs of the Flight Control System of Helicopter design. The simulation platform of flight control based on FlightGear in Matlab environment is designed and implemented by using Matlab/Simulink and other simulation tools, combined with TJART232 serial port communication protocol and UPD network communication protocol Under Matlab/Simulink developing environment, decode simulation block is written in C language. Benefit from the API of FlightGear software. Flight position data can be shown three-dimensional on the monitor via the UDF network, achieving the 3D visualized simulation system. After massive tests and validation, the entire Flight Control Simulation Platform works well.
