MP500-1 flight simulator

Merlin has created the MP500-1 UAV simulation development and control station for use as a simulator in its own right, which also provides the end user with a simulation which can be integrated with an MP521 Engineering Flight Simulator within an aerospace laboratory, and used for interactive flight.

The MP500-1, designed as a simulation development and control station, may also be used as a cost effective extension to any Merlin Flight Simulator installation where capacity is a problem on the motion based MP520 or MP521.

The MP500-1 may also be used for research into control and stability of UAV designs ranging from scaled up portable drones to full size autonomous vehicles.

When integrated with Merlin's MPATC Air Traffic Control simulation station, and MP521 Engineering Flight Simulator, the MP500-1 provides the ideal cost effective tool for research into piloting uninhabited air vehicles in a mixed inhabited/uninhabited air traffic environment.
