This ZIP file contains the nonlinear model of an
F-16 fighter aircraft in MATLAB/Simulink, Both high-fidelity and low-fidelity aerodynamic data are available, taken from NASA report 1538 and "Aircraft Control and Simulation" by Lewis & Stevens.
A trim function is also included.
F16dyn.c and F16dynam.c contain essentially the same model, only differing in the use of quaternions vs. Euler angles.
F16dynam_complex.c is updated with more general equations of motion so that cg shifts can be taken into account. F16dyn_decoupled.c created by E.R. van Oort contains a model with decoupled left and right ailerons and elevators.
More information can be found inside the script files (Other authors are also credited there). A manual is now also included for a better understanding of aircraft dynamics and the model.
NOTE: all files have been created in MATLAB/Simulink 7.5 R2007b, the simulink .mdl files are compatible with older versions up until 6.0.
