Abstract: In order to comprehensively carry out the construction of the automation major under the background of new engineering, the experimental teaching of related control courses urgently needs to be upgraded. For this purpose, a hard-in-loop (HIL) flying control teaching platform is constructed in response to the requirements of new engineering construction. Compared to the simulation control experiments and traditional oven temperature control/motor control experiments, 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 for the core knowledge of the course of Principles of Automatic Control are developed, including time-domain and frequency-domain charateristics of control systems, PID controller design and extended experiments, etc. 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 piratical knowledge, so as to understand the meaning of control theory on improving new quality productive forces.
