Pilotless Flight of Aurora Centaur

See the first autonomous test flight of Aurora Flight Sciences’ optionally piloted aircraft, the Centaur. Aurora used Model-Based Design with MATLAB® and Simulink® to develop Centaur’s flight control, vehicle, mission, and flight management software.

Note: Simulink Verification and Validation transitioned to Simulink Check, Simulink Coverage, and Requirements Toolbox in R2017b.
