Abstract

A method of simulating a quadcopter includes testing a plurality of quadcopter components at a plurality of operating conditions to generate one or more lookup tables for characteristics of the quadcopter components. The lookup tables are stored for quadcopter component simulation in a quadcopter simulator. When a simulated input value for a simulated quadcopter component is received in the simulator lookup table, entries corresponding to the simulated input value are read from the lookup table and simulated quadcopter component output is generated. Simulated quadcopter output to a flight controller is generated according to the simulated quadcopter component output from one or more entries of one or more lookup tables.
