RT-LAB TestFlight allows control engineers to test their avionics code in close-to-reality simulated scenarios as if they were embedded in a real aircraft. Running on the RT-LAB real-time platform, the supplied Opal-RT aircraft model has been developed as a first-pass dynamic simulation by world-class aerodynamics engineers. See "About the Aircraft Model" for more details.

The RT-LAB TestFlight aircraft simulator allows the user to define realistic flight trajectories, including waypoints, or control the aircraft using a cockpit avionics display, out-the-window display and a joystick.

RT-LAB TestFlight has been designed as a high-performance real-time simulator, to be used in the design implementation and testing of hardware and avionics components. The hard-real-time capabilities of the simulator make it possible to run simulations in conjunction with external avionics and hardware equipment. The system is compatible with a broad range of commercial I/O and communication cards that can be used for interfacing with the model.
