Intruments Simulator

Wohooo! We got the first simulator on board! Thanks to  Andrei, who accepted to take the coding challenge and combine all the codes in the Modelling Flight Instrument tutorial series, to form this nice peace of work. I am sure most of you will find this instrument simulator useful for many purposes, whether for testing flight performance, investigations, research or just pleasure!

The simulator is written in MATLAB. In order to run it, you need to create an input file of your flight time history having the following data:

-          1. Altitude

-          2. Vertical Speed

-          3. Heading

-          4. Bank angle

-          5. Pitch angle

-          6. Indicated Airspeed

-          7. yaw rate and slip rate

then place the input file in the in the same directory as the code files, which is available to download from here, run the code in MATLAB to launch the simulator and watch your flight history on simulated instruments. An input file is provided with package as an example.

This code is in Alpha state, and will be upgraded as per your requests.

Enjoy!

Heading Indictor

 

This is the fourth part of modelling instrument flight simulator in MATALB. In this post, I will talk about modelling an aircraft heading indicator (HI) through MATLAB code which is provided at the end. The heading indicator displays the direction at which the aircraft is headed.

This is the third part of modelling instrument flight simulator in MATALB. In this post, I will talk about modelling a vertical airspeed indicator (VSI) through MATLAB code which is provided at the end. The vertical speed indicator indicates whether the aircraft is climbing, descending, or in level flight.
