A Pilot-Controlled Out-the-Windshield Visual Display using a Conventional Attitude Directional Indicator.

Abstract

A visual display system has been built for dynamic use on the human centrifuge in conjunction with a spin simulation. The system utilizes a three-dimensional attitude directional indicator, is capable of continuous movement and responds to pilot control inputs. The dynamic visual system is synchronized with the pilot motion cues provided by the centrifuge with additional flight instrument displays. The components of the system are described in detail especially where modification of component parts was concerned. The limitations and advantages offered by the visual system in dynamic simulation are included. (Author)
