Abstract

This article deals with model based approach to mathematical modeling process of an aircraftflight control system. Analysis of emergency situations depend on phases of flight is done. Application ofmodern model based technologies for automatic flight control systems development is considered. Theprogram for aircraft-automatic flight control system control loop simulation and visualization is developed.Improvement of the automatic flight control system characteristics is showed. Availability of practicalapplication of developed program in aerospace scope is considered. Use of the mentioned approachallows to facilitate automatic flight control system development, analyze and certification process
