Blocklibrary WINDLIB

The FDC blocklibrary WINDLIB contains sublibraries with Simulink models of wind and atmospheric turbulence. The models determine external atmospheric disturbances, which can be connected to a non-linear aircraft model (e.g. Beaver), because the results are determined in terms velocity components within the body-fixed reference frame of the aircraft. For more details about the underlying theory, see the references at the end of this help-text.

The Wind models sublibrary contains the following blocks:

The Atmospheric turbulence models sublibrary contains the following blocks:
