I am lost in this. I reviewed few simulators like the FlightGear with Simulink HL20, without any good result of producing the following:

generate a sequence of positions and orientations, at a 1 second sampling rate, for an aircraft that is flying in a circle of radius 5 miles

The simulators that I saw are to complex to my current knowledge so what you can suggest to where I can start?

This is not a problem in matlab. Merely a problem in high
school algebra.

How fast does your airplane fly?

How far does it travel in 1 second?

How many degrees of arc are needed to make up the
distance you just computed above, given a circle of
radius 5 miles?

Can you convert from polar coordinates to Cartesian
coordinates for points along a circle?

Hi thanks for reply,

The aircraft should be flying at a velocity of 200 m/hr with constant altitude and a inclination of 10 degrees to permorm the circle path. In one second should be 30 meters. I am not completly sure of how to get all this done.

Well, geez. TRY SOMETHING YOURSELF!

One thing I am quite confident of, is nobody will
do your homework for you, if you cannot bother
to make an effort.

You might try being consistent with your units too.
30 meters per second and a 5 mile radius circle make
for more work than you need to do.

How many degrees of this circle does a 30 meter
arc comprise?
