ADAPTIVE IMITATION DEVICE FOR IMITATING LOAD ON CONTROL LEVERS OF FLIGHT SIMULATOR Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: training apparatuses.

SUBSTANCE: device has computer complex, containing movement indicators and control levers, including control handle, connected to electric engines of loading device via cable wiring and forming closed contours of wiring. Control handle is augmented with trimmer, made in form of compensators of each closed contour. Compensator is made in form of two rollers, upper and lower, through which cable wiring is guided. If force is present on control levers, pilot enables trimmer, sending signal to autonomous drives. Autonomous drives move both rollers for certain distance. Opposite branches of contours of cable wiring of drives of pitch and bank, circling rollers, are retracted and let loose appropriately. Handle is returned to neutral position and force on it is removed due to operation of compensator, imitating mechanism of trimmer effect.

EFFECT: higher efficiency, broader functional capabilities.
