Real-time helicopter dynamics library

RotorLib is a complete helicopter dynamics middleware for tactical simulations, flight training devices and simulators. It can be easily integrated to Windows or Linux based simulations and is programmable with C++. See RotorLib CGF and RotorLib FDM.

Real-time 6 DOF airplane dynamics library

FixedWingLib is a real-time 6 DOF airplane dynamics middleware for flight training devices and simulators. Thanks to the simple C++ API, integration is simple and fast. The extensible C++ architecture allows developers and engineers to reconfigure the airplane model using the available components as building blocks.

Rotary-wing Computer Generated Forces

RotorLib CGF® is the only solution for the simulation of autonomous helicopter entities in the market. Simply create a RotorLib CGF helicopter and you can ask the helicopter to perform maneuvers such as

  • take off and land
  • terrain following flight
  • bob up and bob sideways

If your project is about urban helicopter missions, loadmaster training, marshalling simulators and door gunner simulators, RotorLib CGF is the ideal tool for you. Check our C++ examples for these applications. More…

RotorLib FDM

 

High Fidelity Helicopter Flight Dynamics Model

RotorLib FDM® is our most complex helicopter flight model. It includes sophisticated non-linear real-time rotor models, landing gear mechanics (incl. ship deck landing capability) and control system models.

  • Support for generic types (e.g. cargo, attack)
  • Support for specific types types (e.g. UH60)
  • TrimFinder®, trim tools
  • MATLAB®/Simulink® data analysis tools for dynamic response and flight test data
  • Atmospheric environment
  • Earth models (e.g. UTM, WGS84)

High Fidelity Aircraft Flight Dynamics Model

FixedWingLib FDM® is our real-time flight dynamics model for the fixed wing aircraft. FixedWingLib FDM provides components to simulate a specific or generic aircraft, developers can use the components as building blocks to model any type of aircraft. 

  • 6 Degree of freedom
  • Realistic landing gear model
  • Flexible reconfigurable aerodynamic model
  • Earth and instrument models
  • Generates data for flight instruments and avionics

The C++ interface is easy to handle and FixedWingLib FDM can be easily integrated to image generators and simulation environments. More…

RotorLib for MAK VR-Forces

RotorLib For MAK's VR-Forces

RotorLib plug-in for VR-Forces allows you to use RotorLib helicopters just like any other autonomous CGF entity in MAK's VR-Forces. It is sufficient to install the RotorLib VR-Forces plugin and you will immediately be able to use RotorLib helicopters in VR-Forces. No programming is necessary. VR-Forces rotary wing tasks are supported so existing helicopters in a scenario can be easily replaced with the high fidelity RotorLib models without making changes to your plans. More…
