Simulation environment development of the manned and unmanned air vehicles utilizing Matlab/simulink and X-plane

In this study, it is implemented a non-motion simulation environment for a fixed-wing aircraft. The simulation environment which is consist of software and hardware components are named Flight Test and Training Simulator (UTES). It is aimed to reduce costs and improve safety with the use of commercial of-the-shell (COTS) software and hardware in UTES system. It is shown to create a low-cost flight training environment (classroom) and made improvements in accordance with test and feedback by expert trainers. At the same time a platform which enables development and test of avionic equipment and software (algorithm) is established with developed UTES system.
