QLabs Virtual Quanser AERO

Same as the physical Quanser AERO, the virtual system is a dual-rotor helicopter model that can be reconfigured for 1 DOF attitude, 2 DOF helicopter, or half-quadrotor experiments. Rotary encoders measure the angular position of the propeller DC motors, the speed of the motors is measured through a software-based tachometer.

QLabs Virtual Quanser AERO is a fully instrumented, dynamically accurate virtual twin of a Quanser AERO system. It behaves in the same way as the physical hardware and can be measured and controlled using MATLAB®/Simulink® and other development environments. QLabs Virtual Quanser AERO can enrich your lectures and activities in traditional labs, or bring credible, authentic model-based lab experiences into your distance and blended aerospace and control systems course.

QLabs Virtual Quanser AERO is available as a 12-month multi-seat subscription. The platform is compatible with the physical Quanser AERO curriculum which covers concepts including modeling, system identification, attitude and speed control, PID control, gain scheduling, state-feedback control, coupled dynamics, and Kalman filter.
