HOW TO CONNECT SIMULINK TO FLIGHTGEAR: youtube.com/watch?v=jB-80cvV1Ao

Hi Everyone!

This video is a continuation of my first lecture delivered on the Aerospace Blockset which is a powerful tool embedded in MATLAB and Simulink. This lecture covers an example of a full landing flight simulation of the NASA HL-20 Personnel Launch System spaceplane.

This video covers the following topics related to flight simulation and how they can be implemented into Simulink.

1) Aerodynamic Forces and Momentsa
2) Aircraft Subsystems (flaps, spoilers, landing gear)
3) Equations of Motion
4) Defining the Environment
5) Connecting MATLAB to FlightGear and running your simulation in real time.

I hope this video helps those of you who are interested in using MATLAB and Simulink for academic or commercial use in your aerospace or mechanical engineering projects!
