Flight Vehicle Visualization

This project developed a tool to visualize drone flight using both simulated and real telemetry data. The system creates a complete pipeline that takes raw flight data, converts it into a standardized format, and generates a realistic 3D animation of the drone’s motion. The key components included a 6DOF physics-based simulation, telemetry data processing, and an interactive user interface that was built in MATLAB/Simulink. This framework allows users to analyze drone behavior and compare simulated results with real-world data, supporting the development of promotional material to highlight product capabilities.
