3DOF (Wind Axes)

A model of plane longitudinal motion in the velocity coordinate system.

3dof wind axes

Description

The 3DOF (Wind Axes) block implements a model of the plane longitudinal motion of an aircraft taking into account the rotation of the vertical plane of the velocity coordinate system relative to the ground coordinate system.

The equations of motion are as follows:



















The 3DOF (Wind Axes) unit works in SI units.

The block uses coordinate systems according to the international standard ISO 1151.
