Model a launch abort system for an orbiter heading into outer space. If a fault occurs during the launch, the orbiter aborts the launch. Depending on when the fault occurs, the orbiter returns to the launch site, returns to a downrange landing site, attempts to land after orbiting once around the Earth, or proceeds to a lower, stable orbit. A Simulink 3D Animation™ window displays a visualization of these steps. This simplified example does not model the dynamics of the fuel, boosters, and tank subsystems.

Design a fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) application for a pair of aircraft elevators controlled by redundant actuators. This model uses the same fault detection control logic as the Avionics subsystem of the Aerospace Blockset™ example HL-20 Project with Optional FlightGear Interface (Aerospace Blockset).

How to model a redundant pair of sensors. By using atomic subcharts, you can compose a large Stateflow® chart from other charts that reside in a library file.

Combine Stateflow® with Simulink® to efficiently model hybrid systems. This type of modeling is particularly useful for systems that have numerous possible operational modes based on discrete events. Traditional signal flow is handled in Simulink while changes in control configuration are implemented in Stateflow. The model described below represents a fuel control system for a gasoline engine. The system is highly robust in that individual sensor failures are detected and the control system is dynamically reconfigured for uninterrupted operation.
