Abstract

Details of design and construction of a VTOL flight simulator, completed in March 1966, are given this report. The one-man cab has conventional seating, controls and instrumentation in which CRT and TV type displays are involed. A television camera with 6 degrees-of-freedom is used to acquire a visual scene of landing-approach below a 120m ceiling. The model represents an area 2600m by 100m at the 1:400 scale. A projected or monitor image may be presented to the pilot as visual aids. This system is controlled through an analog computor which has been programmed to account for vehicle dynamic response to pilot's control input.
