Yet, among those designs, few are readily suitable forapplying. Moreover, most of the applicable aerospace control designs are built through flighttests that perform real processes on available real vehicles. The need to use real vehicles in thecontrol design cycle poses a high risk and is prohibitively cost. To solve this problem, a realtimesimulation concept that employs cheap, practical, and rapid-to-build modular hardware,which can simulate a nearly real process in lab’s environment, is proposed in this researchwork. This paper elaborated the integration of nonlinear model for small scale helicopter,“Yamaha R-50”, with the sensors, servos, and wind models into a modular Simulink model.The Simulink model performed a real-time computing process and behaved like therepresented helicopter dynamic system. The overall scheme of flight simulation can play asignificant role in the efficient control system design for aerial vehicles. %U https://asat.journals.ekb.eg/article_23706_e177fc2b1d801473cc247aff7c07f8f9.pdf
