PX4 autopilot-based 6DoF SIL and HIL simulators

Development of PX4 autopilot-based SITL and HITL simulators for training and testing. Fixed-wing simulators can use a full BEM aerodynamic model (stability derivatives) or a hybrid (CFD + BEM) aerodynamic model. The 6-DOF Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) equations of motion are used.
