ABSTRACT
========
The Flight Dynamics and Control (FDC) toolbox is a graphical software
environment for the design and analysis of aircraft dynamics and control
systems, based upon Matlab and Simulink. It simplifies the Flight Control
System design process by integrating linear and non-linear analysis within
one software environment. The toolbox has been set up around a general
non-linear aircraft model which has been constructed in a modular way,
thus providing maximal flexibility to the user. The aircraft model can be
accessed by means of the graphical user-interface of Simulink. The toolbox
also includes some analytical Matlab routines for extracting steady-state
flight conditions and determining linearized models for user-specified
operating points, Simulink models of atmospheric disturbances and
radio-navigation systems, extensive models of a `classical' autopilot,
and several help-utilities which simplify the handling of the systems and
tools.
Keywords: Flight Control System Design, Aircraft Modeling, Non-linear
Simulation, Computer Assisted Design
