Flight Simulation System Architecture: Decomposition into Aircraft Dynamics Model and Flight Control System

We decompose the flight simulation system into multiple independent subsystems, including the aircraft dynamics model and flight control system, instrumentation display and control console, and visual simulation. Utilizing FlightGear and MATLAB/Simulink as development platforms, we design and implement a distributed flight simulation architecture. This system integrates: - MATLAB/Simulink for aircraft dynamics modeling and flight control algorithm implementation - FlightGear for high-fidelity visual rendering and environmental simulation - Inter-subsystem communication protocols for real-time data exchange The simulation system employs numerical integration methods (e.g., Runge-Kutta) for solving aircraft equations of motion, while implementing flight control logic through Simulink block diagrams or Stateflow finite state machines. Distributed architecture enables modular testing and parallel computation across subsystems. This distributed approach provides enhanced realism and comprehensive flight simulation capabilities, supporting pilot training and research applications through accurate aerodynamic modeling and interactive visual feedback.
