Overview

As a twin of the physical Aero 2, the virtual system is a dual-rotor helicopter model that can be reconfigured for 1 DOF attitude, 2 DOF helicopter, or half-quadrotor experiments. Multiple rotary encoders measure the angular position of the propeller DC motors, and the pitch and yaw axes. An IMU compliments the sensor suite to offer a more realistic instrumentation and control scenarios.
