Engineering Study of the U.P.T. Simulator Facility. Volume I - Executive Summary Design Study.

Abstract

An interdisciplinary engineering design study was conducted on the Undergraduate Pilot Training Simulator Facility. The following systems were selected: (1) application of a truss and column system for maximum flexibility, (2) a more economical exterior wall section, (3) selective electrical distribution system for increased reliability, (4) high pressure sodium lamps for outdoor and high bay lighting, (5) a solar energy powered domestic water system, and (6) cooling load reduction of light bank and terrain board system. The use of the computer program ECUBE is demonstrated as a tool of analysis.
