Emergency Flight Path Planner (Lite)

This software is a functional sample of a tool which allows retrieval off data from the FlightGear flight simulator into Matlab and evaluation of the position of the airplane with regards to the terrain and its surface characteristics which are used to determine a safe place for landing and plan a safe path for landing. The tool allows for guidance along the planned path to the closest safe landing place. The planner is ilustrated at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPH_eeze5sg .
