Adanced Simulator for Pilot Training (ASPT): G-Seat Optimization.

Abstract

This report documents Phase I (of III) of project of optimize the effectiveness of the ASPT g-seat in terms of both hardware and software performance. The transport lag was reduced to 20 ms by moving the Conoflow valves to the platform and using higher diameter hoses. The time constant was reduced to 150 ms by using larger diameter hoses, changing the needle valve location, and optimizing the settings of the booster and needle valve adjustments. The software has been reorganized, improved, streamlined and documented so that it may be more readily used to determine the most effective drive techniques. The optimized system will be used in a Phase II to determine the most effective drive technique and in a Phase III which will emulate new g-cueing devices, geometries, and drive schemes. (Author)
