Visualize Trajectory and Attitude

View vehicle dynamics in 3-D flight paths and trajectories; create Apps with flight instruments

Visualize vehicle flight dynamics using either the MATLAB^® graphics-based functions or the third-party FlightGear flight simulator (Aerospace Toolbox Animation Objects). FlightGear is open source software available through a GNU General Public License (GPL).

You can define geometries using MATLAB variables, MAT files, AC3D files, or custom formats.
