dhc-beaver
Computes the state derivative and output of the DHC-2 "Beaver" aircraft. This file translates the Simulink model that can be downloaded from dutchroll.com into a MATLAB function that takes the current state and controls as input.
It is possible to use this file to compute multiple derivatives and outputs at once. For example, let
t = [t1, t2, t3, t4, t5];
x = [x(t1), x(t2), x(t3), x(t4), x(t5)];
uaero = [ua(t1), ua(t2), ua(t3), ua(t4), ua(t5)];
uprop = [up(t1), up(t2), up(t3), up(t4), up(t5)];
uwind = [uw(t1), uw(t2), uw(t3), uw(t4), uw(t5)];
This function will then compute the following derivative vector in addition to many outputs.
dx/dt = [f(x(t1)), f(x(t2)), f(x(t3)), f(x(t4)), f(x(t5))]
