Aerospace Toolbox

Aerospace Toolbox

Aerospace Toolbox provides reference standards, environmental models, and aerodynamic coefficient importing for performing advanced aerospace analysis to develop and evaluate your designs. Options for visualizing vehicle dynamics include a six-degrees-of-freedom MATLAB animation object and interfaces to FlightGear flight simulator and Simulink 3D Animation. These options let you visualize flight data in a three-dimensional (3-D) environment and reconstruct behavioral anomalies in flight-test results.

To ensure design consistency, Aerospace Toolbox provides utilities for unit conversions, coordinate transformations, and quaternion math, as well as standards-based environmental models for the atmosphere, gravity, geoid height, and magnetic field. You can import aerodynamic coefficients from the U.S. Air Force Digital Data Compendium (Datcom) to carry out preliminary control design and vehicle performance analysis.
