DEVICE FOR SIMULATION OF VISUAL ORIENTATION OF PILOT Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: aircraft training equipment. SUBSTANCE: device has virtual helmet with system of color stereo image with liquid- crystal matrices, semi-transparent reflectors and video mixers, system of stereo sounds with built-in microphone and head phones, receptor units which are mounted in gloves, jackboots (knee caps), jacket (armored jacket), which are equipped with movement detectors, tension detectors and electric drives. In addition device has microcomputer for processing signals from receptor devices, training set cockpit with seat, instrument board, control handles, calculator of flight parameters, and calculator of navigation system, board of trainer. In addition device has system for measuring angles of operator's head rotation with phase-sensitive detector, sight detector with TV camera and blinking detector, liquid-crystal masks with control unit, video script unit, segmentation unit, non- linear editing unit, character generator, image generator, photodetector unit, unit which measures distance between eye pupils, unit for measuring sight turns. EFFECT: increased fidelity of scale, increased fidelity of simulations of aircraft flight for manual visual control of pilot, improved quality and increased speed of training of pilots. 3 dwg
