Application of the Northrop Rotational Simulator to Helicopters and V/ STOL Aircraft (User's Guide)

Abstract

The purpose of the document is to suggest guidelines to be used in developing software interface computations so as to effectively integrate the pilot and mathematical vehicular representation to the Northrop rotational simulator. A description of all key elements and their performance and operating characteristics is included. Past uses and projected future uses are also given. Some validation methods are described with suggestions for their use. Suggested interface mechanizations are given which provide effective visual and motion stimuli compatible with sensory characteristics. A rationale for the use of motion is included. A method is outlined which assists the user in assessing the probability of success in any desired simulation and preparation of an effective experimental design.
