VIRTUAL AIRCRAFT SIMULATOR Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: aircraft simulators. SUBSTANCE: pilot s work station is located in rear aircraft cabin. Simulator is provided with armament monitoring and control units, adapter connected with pilot s crash helmet with virtual goggles. Transmission and reception of data is effected from ground flight information processing unit by means of two radio stations; processing unit includes modules of flight information reproduction, aircraft control parameters comparison, configuration and flight data access, flight element recognition, animation of instrument panel and outside-cabin space, preflight preparation and testing, base of data of rated and recorded parameters, monitoring and control of simulation modes. Modules are connected with inputs of display and documentation of estimation of pilot s rational activity both in flight and in simulation modes; they are also connected with inputs of virtual reality unit whose output is output of ground flight information processing unit. EFFECT: possibility of training pilots in real cabin and by real records of flight information; extended functional capabilities of simulator. 1 dwg
