FixedWingLib FDM® is a real-time C++ airplane flight dynamics SDK for flight training devices and flight simulators.

FixedWingLib FDM includes a reconfigurable fixed-wing flight dynamics model for flight training devices, flight simulators and other simulation applications.

 

All phases of flight including landing, take-off and climb in normal or windy conditions are simulated in real-time. C++ developers can easily add FixedWingLib to simulation projects. FixedWingLib FDM includes various reconfigurable flight dynamics components such as 6 DOF flight dynamics, earth model, instruments model, landing gear model and stability augmentation systems.

FixedWingLib FDM Features:

• High fidelity airplane simulation model
• Ideal for pilot-in-the-loop applications such as flight training devices
• Fully reconfigurable using XML configuration files
• Supports saving and loading simulation state (demo video)
• Faster or slower than real-time simulation and pausing the simulation supported
• Deterministic simulation model (i.e. it is possible to repeat scenarios)
• High fidelity landing gear simulation capable of simulation of taxiing
• Extensible control system architecture
• Extensible engine model architecture
• Easy to use C++ API
• Low cost
• Available on Windows® and Linux®
