Helicopter-Simulation

Codacy Badge

A complete rigid body six degrees of freedom helicopter simulation (ANSI-C) including:

  • Main rotor model (including a linear rotor flapping model accounting for coupled servo rotor dynamics and mechanical feedback by the gyroscopic effect of the stabilizer bar, e.g. - fly-bar)
  • Both main & tail rotor include a combined finite element and blade momentum theory model for the calculation of a rotor thrust, power and torque
  • Vertical & horizontal stabilizer simulation (full aerodynamics)
  • ground contact/collision simulation
  • Opengl based "outside world" and "inertial navigation system" windows
  • Second order (non linear) servo model
  • WGS-84 gravity model
  • Dryden (linearized) wind model
  • Standard atmosphere model (ISA)
  • Equations of motion integration using 4th order Runge-Kuta
  • IMU emulator
  • A place to write the flight control code...
