Development of the HWIL Training Simulator of UAV Engine
A hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) training simulator was developed to avoid high cost and realize intuitionistic teaching in the engine maintenance teaching of a certain type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The oil free engine HWIL simulator was achieved by the driver-to-the driven switch. According to the needs of teaching , the function of dynamic real-time control in different working areas was implemented by combining dynamic monitoring of the computer with real-time controlling of the single chip microcomputer. The successful development of the simulator improved the teachers’ teaching ability and cadets’operation ability, cut down the training cost and reduced the teaching risk to zero by indoor training of large weapons and equipment.Keywords: engine, simulator, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, teaching
