Modeling, Simulation, and Flight Control Design of an Aircraft with Simulink

In this webinar, you will learn how you can apply Model-Based Design with MATLAB and Simulink for air vehicle design and automatic flight control. Engineers working in the aerospace field can use MATLAB and Simulink to improve the design workflow for:

• Defining aircraft geometry and importing DATCOM data to define vehicle forces and moments
• Creating a simulation to understand the vehicle dynamics
• Designing a flight control system with automatic gain generation to stabilize the vehicle and meet requirements
• Performing simulations to verify the design and visualize the simulation in a realistic 3D environment

The primary focus is for engineers whose workflow involves modeling, simulation, and control of aircraft. Many of the Model-Based Design and control concepts shown in this webinar can be applied to a variety of applications.

About the Presenter: Ryan Gordon is the product manager for Aerospace Toolbox and Aerospace Blockset at MathWorks. Before joining MathWorks, Ryan developed models and control algorithms for autonomous UAVs using Simulink at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. He has a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from Saint Louis University and a master’s degree in aerospace engineering focusing on dynamics and control from USC.

PID auto tune in Matlab/Simulink is valid for linear systems only. Not in non-linear systems. We need non-linear in reality.

[sundarapandim]

Can you plz post more videos MATLAB Aerospace Toolbox RELATED

[JR-mqlv]

I don't understand why you wouldn't share the file or show people interested learning on how to set this stuff up.

[DSAE-RaghavMehrotra]

Can we use it for any type of aircraft ?
Like flying wings also ?

[yufengfu]

hello, could you share this fixed wing module?

[wentingcui]

hello, can you share the simulink model?

[anantharamansaravanakumar]

Can u plz do fuselage analysis with matlab I need to do it on Tuesday plz help bri

[pepegrillo]

How do you change the constant values while simulation is running?

[TheGogolau]

I am trying to use the lightweight airplane design example on simulink now, but I cannot link the FlightGear to Simulink, do you know what happen? Also, is it this model available online, please?

[AC-gpwq]

Could the simulink model be available to download?

[hernanposnansky]

I do not thrust an autopilot designed by an control systems engineer who has no piloting experience and is not aware of possible failures and limits. Look for example at the case of of the vertical speed control mode used near the aircraft's service altitude, when it cannot recognize an imminent stall.
2 pilots on a repositioning flight paid the ultimate price using that mode at 41000 ft.
Who designed the MCAS system for the B 757 Max?
A control system engineer which is also a rated pilot would never had the pitch system enter repeated trim inputs to force the nose down in response to a single AoA sensor without cross checking what the actual attitude and CAS of the aircraft is, information available from dual computers.
Worse is the total absence of a 'failure modes and effects analysis'
before such a system is implemented on a real airplane.

Hey, Can you tell me how to add other variant subsystem in existing model when already a subsystem is working. I want to change Simulink 3D visualization to FlightGear visualization in my block diagram under visualization subsystem.

[pouriyamazhari]

what is gimbal?
why did you say if we use quaternion there is no malfunction ?

[vighneshnkp]

Hi. Is it possible to use PX4's firmware as autopilot here? And send the Altitude and Speed commands from QGroundcontrol?

[adelmensi]

can you make a video about rocket pid trust vector control

[ahmedallam]

can some provide the simulink code file,

[gtsm]

Could the Simulink model/file be available to download?

[mumilbaig]

Hello, Respected sir can you this matlab file for learning ?

[shamsurrehman]

How I can regenerate flight in Flight gear simulator through recorded data in MATLAB.

[SaeedAcronia]

After running the main function from the file exchange, Error using fgets
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file identifier.

Error in fgetl (line 33)
[tline, lt] = fgets(fid);

Error in drawDATCOMaircraft (line 35)
tempstr=fgetl(tempdat);
