Programmable Cockpit - Flight Dynamic Model

Abstract

The programmable cockpit has been developed as a low cost alternative to a full research simulator. It is intended for use in cockpit display design and layout studies and for crew workload and other human factors studies. With this system it is possible to quickly change the design or layout of a display and evaluate it under representative flight conditions. A six degree of freedom flight dynamic model has been developed for the Programmable Cockpit. The model's development is described from it original from in the IBM PC-AT simulator to its current implementation in the Programmable Cockpit. It features and operation are described in some detail as well as it limitations. A brief overview of the Programmable Cockpit is also given. The hardware required for the simulator includes: IBM PC-AT 80286 computer with 80287 mathematics co- processor; Locus System Engineering touch screen; MetraByte DASH-8 eight channel, 12 bit A/D converter; and Measurement System Inc. analogue, spring- centered joystick.
