Abstract: To establish under new engineering, experimental teaching on control related courses needs updated. Hard-in-loop (HIL) flying control platform was constructed to satisfy new demands, compared to simulation and traditional oven temperature control/motor control, the HIL can control unmanned flying vehicles by setting variables as pitch, yaw and roll angles and controlling the attitude of a true flying vehicle. Experimental projects were developed based on theoretical knowledge of “Principles of Automation”, including time-domain and frequency-domain charateristics of control systems, PID controller design and extended project. The experimental design for HIL simulation makes the flying control located on the flying vehicle itself, combines the simulation with actual plant, and control theory with pratical knowledge, so as to understand the meaning of control theory on improving new quality productive forces.
