Abstract
Stottler Henke has developed VERTICAL (VLA experimental resource for testing innovative configurations and lightings) for the US Navy. This test and design tool is being used to support vertical takeoff and landing/rotorcraft ship visual landing aids (VLA) test and design at the test team members´ work area. This effort has been accomplished by utilizing MS Flight Simulator, FSUIPC, C++, and OpenFlight. This paper describes the productized version, whose prototype was originally described in an IEEE Aerospace 2005 paper
