Boeing 747 Simulink 6-DOF Simulation Model

This document provides a detailed technical overview of the Boeing 747 six degrees of freedom (6-DOF) simulation implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation framework is built upon mathematical models representing aircraft equations of motion and control systems, enabling comprehensive analysis of flight dynamics under varying operational conditions. The implementation involves constructing mathematical representations of aerodynamic forces, propulsion systems, and mass properties using Simulink blocksets. Key components include: - Rigid-body dynamics implementation through 6-DOF equations - Control surface actuation systems with servo dynamics - Environmental models for atmospheric conditions The simulation architecture allows engineers to: 1. Configure flight control algorithms using PID controllers or advanced control systems 2. Implement aircraft subsystems through masked subsystems and S-functions 3. Validate performance through parameter sweeps and Monte Carlo simulations This Simulink-based simulation serves as an essential engineering tool for aircraft design validation, control system development, and operational scenario testing, providing critical insights for aerospace engineers and researchers.
