Abstract
In recent years, model-based design techniques have been used as a way to support cost reduction and safety certification in the development of avionics systems. In order to support performance analysis and safety analysis of aircraft and avionics equipment (item) using model based design, we developed a multi-domain simulation environment that inter-works with heterogeneous simulators. We present a multi-domain simulation environment that can verify air data computers and integrated multi-function probes at the aircraft level. The model was developed by Simulink and the flight simulator X-Plane 10 was used to verify the model at the aircraft level. Avionics model functions were tested at the aircraft level and the air data errors of the model and flight simulator were measured within 0.1%.
