Study on Virtual Prototyping testing platform for Flight Control Computer System of civil aircraft

Virtual prototyping is introduced and the future development trends of Virtual Prototyping for Flight Control System are summarized. For analyzing redundancy Flight Control Computer Systems (FCCS) of Boeing, Airbus series and BUAA civil aircraft scheme, a VP testing platform for FCCS of civil aircraft is proposed. This platform is based on COTS products, modular components and user interactive interface. It can produce virtual prototypes of dissimilar redundancy FCCSs of Boeing 777, Airbus A340 and BUAA civil aircraft scheme. This platform is open and expandable, supporting concurrent multidisciplinary design.
