    摘要: A rotorcraft flight simulator system includes physical flight control devices for a rotorcraft vehicle. Each of the flight control devices is configured to generate, when actuated, one or more control signals via an output connector of that flight control device. The system includes a programmable interface with multiple input pins, and each of the output connectors is coupled to a respective input pin. The programmable interface includes a controller configured to attribute particular control signals received at a particular input pin to a specific flight control device. The system includes a flight simulator computer configured to receive output signals from the controller via an Ethernet port. The output signals include, for the specific flight control device, header information indicating the specific flight control device and flight control data corresponding to a particular control signal received at the particular input pin that is associated with the specific flight control device.

    摘要: A motion platform for use with a video simulation system is described. The platform is configured to provide simultaneous roll-axis and yaw-axis motion about a pivot point for simulating a aircraft environment. Additionally, the motion platform is configured to achieve motion using a single linear actuator, and thus is provided at a significantly reduced cost compared to conventional motion platforms. Other benefits of the motion platform include improved power efficiency, reduced weight for increased portability, and reduced maintenance due to only one linear actuator driving the system.

    摘要: This procedure proposes the appropriate equations that determine the rotor movement in order to obtain the aerodynamic actions for each blade in each iteration (the forces that are transmitted to the helicopter and the moments with respect to the articulations), and they are resolved by discretizations made in the rotor disc, such that that the blade elements of the partition are connected to the disc, which does not rotate, instead of to each blade. The blades pass through an azimuth range in each iteration, making a division of each blade longitudinally into ne elements, and the rotor disc into na sectors, corresponding to divisions of the range of azimuth angles. Therefore, partitions are made on ne·na blade elements, identifying each blade element by means of its distance to the rotor axis and its azimuth angle.

    摘要: A computer-controlled parallel-leg mechanism, with three pairs of remotely-actuated tendon legs, provides accurate six-degrees-of-freedom motion and positioning for a tool platform. Leg pair termination at a common point with three degrees of pivoting freedom is provided by a unique linkage joint. Non-intrusive tool-position feedback is enabled by nine shaft encoders mounted at the mechanism's base end.

    摘要: Full motion interactive simulator for use by two or more persons that can play a simulation game running on a display screen, where each player can alternate controlling the pitch and roll of a motion base platform supporting a vehicle on which the players sit. A joystick mounted in front of each player can be moved forward, backward, side-to-side, and in 360 degree circles to cause the platform to pitch and roll along any angle. The joystick can have separate buttons for firing weapons at targets on the display screen, controlling the position of images on the screen and answering questions by the system such as yes, and no to certain questions. Each player can have a set of foot pedals in front of their seats, where a left pedal can cause the screen image to rotate to the left, and the right pedal can cause the screen image to rotate to the right. The active player on the joystick controls both pedals at one time. A collective lever can be positioned between the players, where pulling up the lever causes an upward altitude on the display image and pushing the lever down causes the display image to move downward. The vehicle can be an a helicopter, an airplane, a jet, an automobile, a motorcycle, a truck, a military tank, a speedboat, a submarine and a jetski.

    摘要: A modular, reconfigurable and easily deployable simulator system includes a plurality of vehicle personality kits and at least one frame to support a single crewstation. Members of a selected kit are coupled to the frame. A multi-platform control system provides on-the-window and in vehicle instrument displays in real-time in response to the crewperson manipulating platform controls. An editor with a graphical user interface provides a capability to modify program segments of the control system thereby altering the behavior of the simulated platform.

    摘要: A system for training aircrews, particularly aircrews of relatively slow-moving aircraft such as helicopters in laser/electronic warfare countermeasure tactics and the use of laser/electronic warfare countermeasure equipment is provided. The system is operable with the aircraft's instruments to present the simulated threats whenever such threats are both with the line-of-sight of, and within the presentation range of the aircraft. Accordingly, such a system includes a plurality of independently operating threat-simulating transmitter units simulating both stationary and non-stationary threats by broadcasting omnidirectional radio frequency signals over a common carrier frequency. On-board equipment, carried on the aircraft determines whether the aircraft is both within the line-of-sight and within presentation range to the threat based upon receipt of the transmitter unit signals and the location of the threats relative to that of the aircraft. When, determined by the on-board equipment, that both the requisite line-of-sight and presentation range conditions are met, a controller, constituting an important part of that equipment, causes the aircraft instruments to present such threat in proper perspective as to both direction and range, to the crew over the aircraft's radar warning receiver and intercom system.
