Hardware-in-the-Loop Test Platform Design for UAV Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) systems is designed that demonstrates flight attitudes on yaw, pitch and roll axes. The design combines a sophisticated flight simulation software with a platform capable of moving 360 degrees on all axes. This enables the testing of the flight sensors and autopilot algorithms for all sorts of scenarios including emergency and acrobatic cases where an indefinite number of full rotations in the yaw, roll and pitch might take place.
