Simulation of Aircraft Displays.

Abstract

The process of analyzing and solving various operational problems is often accomplished by means of some form of simulation. The report details some practical and inexpensive methods of displaying tracking task information that can be used in flight simulation. One topic is a simplified Instrument Landing System (ILS) cathode ray tube (CRT) display. A means of temperature stabilizing such a display is included. A sine/cosine trigonometric function generator useful in graphics display was designed. A very successful method of driving synchro-type aircraft instruments by other than conventional electromechanical or commercial solid state devices is described. Diagrams are given for all of the circuitry discussed. (Author)
