Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report the research activity of Politecnico di Torino concerning the MicroHawk platform (micro‐aerial vehicles – MAVs) and to present the design and the development of a basic flight simulator for educational/training purpose.Design/methodology/approach – A simulator is an easy‐to‐use system for the analysis of maneuver response, the dynamic study and the evaluation of the aircraft flying and handling qualities for different aircraft categories. The software implementation, including the definition of mathematical model, the visual scenario and the real‐time data analysis graphic interface, are delineated in this paper. In addition to this experimental phase, an important effort is done to incorporate simulation into the autopilot tuning process.Findings – An intense flight activity is carried out to test the flight control system performances of the MicroHawk platform and to establish general procedures to ensure the correct operation of all subsystems. The autom...
