Help Visualising Longitudinal Helicopter Model

I'm trying to create a very basic longitudinal model of a Chinook helicopter and struggling to find a simple way to have matlab/simulink visualise the outputs produced. All I need is a simple live visualisation of how the helicopter is behaving along with the ability to have control inputs much like this:

Could anyone point me in the right direction as I have no idea where to look to do this?

Hi James,

I understand that you are looking for a way to visualize your helicopter's behaviour.

To achieve this, you can utilize the 'Aerospace Blockset' toolbox in MATLAB. This toolbox offers SIMULINK blocks specifically designed for modeling, simulating, and analyzing aircraft platforms. For more detailed information on the 'Aerospace Blockset' toolbox, you can refer to the following documentation.

To gain a better understanding of the implementation process, you may find it helpful to watch the following video titled 'Vehicle Dynamics Simulation and Visualization'.

Hope this helps!
