Reconfigurable Rotorcraft Flight Simulator

Abstract

The low fidelity nature of the pilot control hardware interfaces and visualization used in ourrotorcraft flight simulator are limiting its effective use in our current and future rotorcraft flight dynamicsand control research under the US Army/Navy sponsored Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence(VLRCOE) as well as other DoD basic research programs. This DURIP proposal is for acquisition andintegration of specific equipment into our simulator that will significantly enhance its current capabilities.The proposed equipment consists of (a) a pilot control platform with active control loaders integratedinto the four control channels, and (b) an overhead projection system with three high quality projectors,a cylindrical screen, and image blending software
