All rights reserved.This work aims at presenting an integrated development system to a motion real-time flight simulator using a robotic device. This flight simulator is called SIVOR (Simulador de Voo Robótico – Robotic Flight Simulator). This is a multidisciplinary project since it involves different systems with different level of complexity, which by itself give some challenges in how to develop this type of flight simulator. In order to have a flight simulator with base motion upon robotic device it is necessary the domain of systems like robotic, pilot modeling, filtering design, here called by washout filter, aeronautic modeling which includes traditional systems as automatic flight control, aerodynamic, propulsion, ground handling, sensors and actuation. Therefore a considerable effort in the development is demanded to have a representative aircraft model been executed in a real-time flight simulator with robotic motion. Thus this paper presents an integrated modeling process to represents all of the system in order to give a more maturity development cycle, in order to reduce the uncertainties presented in the begin of any project and that becomes more challenging for any complex system. The real-time motion flight simulator based upon robotic environment has a nonlinear flight mechanic model of EMBRAER 190-E2, and here won’t be presented in order to protect the intellectual property and compliance policies of EMBRAER S.A., the other systems will be explained in detail and a sensitive analysis is presented in order to demonstrated that an model based approach shall be used in this kind of flight simulator in order to speed up the maturity level of the system.
