Building a Matlab/Simulink Model of an Aircraft: The Research Civil Aircraft Model (RCAM)

In this video we implement the RCAM model as a Matlab script that is called from a Simulink model. The result is a fully encapsulated Simulink model of a nonlinear, 6 DOF aircraft.

Please ensure you have watched the previous video entitled ‘A Nonlinear, 6 DOF Dynamic Model of an Aircraft: the Research Civil Aircraft Model (RCAM)’ (   • A Nonlinear, 6 DOF Dynamic Model of a...  ).
