Flight Instruments

Display measurements through standard cockpit instruments

Use cockpit instrument blocks to display flight status information from your model.

Blocks

Airspeed Indicator	Display measurements for aircraft airspeed
Altimeter	Display measurements for aircraft altitude
Artificial Horizon	Represent aircraft attitude relative to horizon
Climb Rate Indicator	Display measurements for aircraft climb rate
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Indicator	Display measurements for engine exhaust gas temperature (EGT)
Heading Indicator	Display measurements for aircraft heading
Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) Indicator	Display measurements for engine revolutions per minute (RPM) in percentage of RPM
Turn Coordinator	Display measurements on turn coordinator and inclinometer

Topics

Flight Instrument Gauges

Use the blocks for flight instrument gauges to visualize navigation variables, such as altitude and heading.

Featured Examples

HL-20 with Flight Instrumentation Blocks

NASA's HL-20 lifting body and controller modeled in Simulink® and Aerospace Blockset™ software. This model simulates approach and landing flight phases using an auto-landing controller. The Visualization subsystem uses aircraft-specific gauges from the Aerospace Blockset™ Flight Instrumentation library.
