“…Some more recent works relegate the calculation of the aircraft dynamics to a flight simulator such as RealFlight [10] or X-Plane [11,12]. Other robotics simulators such as Gazebo have also been employed for UAV simulation [13].…”

HIL Flight Simulator for VTOL-UAV Pilot Training Using X-Plane

et al. 2022

With the increasing popularity of vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicles (VTOL UAVs), a new problem arises: pilot training. Most conventional pilot training simulators are designed for full-scale aircrafts, while most UAV simulators are just focused on conceptual testing and design validation. The X-Plane flight simulator was extended to include new functionalities such as complex wind dynamics, ground effect, and accurate real-time weather. A commercial HIL flight controller was coupled with a VTOL convertiplane UAV model to provide realistic flight control. A real flight case scenario was tested in simulation to show the importance of including an accurate wind model. The result is a complete simulation environment that has been successfully deployed for pilot training of the Marvin aircraft manufactured by FuVeX.
