DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMULATOR FOR THE EVALUATION OF RIGID AND MOVABLE AIRCRAFT CONTROLS.
Abstract
A simulator was constructed with two sets of aircraft controls; one set was movable and one set was rigid. The control output signals were integrated into an analog computer circuit to provide the desired aerodynamic characteristics. A repeatable, random input voltage to an oscilloscope was used as a basis for a tracking exercise in which the test subject, by manipulation of the control stick, attempted to cancel the random signal. A scoring method was devised which utilized an electronic counter and signal comparator to evaluate pilot performance with each of the four control sticks. (Author)
