Abstract (EN): Developed countries have made significant efforts to integrate Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations in controlled aerial space due to a rising interest of using UAVs for civilian as well as military purposes. This paper focuses on looking for reliable solutions and a way to validate an autonomous multiagent control system through a different variety of Flight Simulations. This study has two main lines, the first being the use of multiagent systems in UAVs, aiming at a fully autonomous control. The second and focal line is a survey about the variety of simulation systems dedicated to aerodynamics and aircrafts, comparing them and their feasibility to validate the developed multiagent control system. One critical factor is hazard situations, like emergency landing without runway or equipment failure, which should be predicted in an automated system. Most flight simulators are not realistic enough to validate a multiagent algorithm in hazard situations. At the same time, it is impossible to predict every type of failure in real world. The boundaries of simulation should be very well enclosured in order to present results using simulation.
