An Acceleration Cueing Simulation Device.
Abstract
An acceleration cueing simulation device is disclosed for applying sustained, as well as dynamic, acceleration forces to a trainee pilot as he operates an aircraft simulator. The acceleration cueing device comprises a pair of Helmholtz coils for generating a uniform magnetic field; an aircraft control device for generating a control data signal which is responsive to simulated flight maneuvers performed by the trainee pilot; and a computer system for producing a plurality of digital logic signals which are in response to the control data signal. The plurality of digital logic signals, when converted to analog signals, will energize a plurality of coils which are embedded in a suit and a helmet worn by the trainee pilot. When the trainee pilot is within the magnetic field generated by the Helmholtz coils, the coils embedded within the suit and the helmet provide a plurality of simulated acceleration forces which are exerted upon the trainee pilot.
