Research on aircraft flight control has been widely studied as a hotspot. However, the characteristics on the ground is relatively unpopular. The simulation platforms for flight control is designed more accurate in the air rather than on the ground, and the platforms for ground vehicles needs to be customized. Considering that the ascendancy of the generality of Matlab/Simulink and the visualization of open source software Flightgear, this paper proposed a way to get them connected with each other. Detailed dynamics equations of the aircraft and subsystems are established, and simulations are carried out to demonstrate the characteristics.
