VIRTUAL SIMULATOR OF REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT OPERATOR Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G09B9/32 

FIELD: simulators.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft simulators and may be used for training of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) operators. Simulator includes operator workstation close to real RPA, RPA and engine controls, remote control panel with radio channel, personal computer (laptop), and operator helmet with virtual glasses and positioning unit. RPA with standard turn, pitch and track controls as well as motor controls are remotely controlled by operator via radio channel from remote control panel through flight movement adapter connected with special easily removable turn, pitch and track sensors fastened to RPA deflectors, screens, elevators and rudders with magnets. For this purpose, sensor output is connected via adapter to laptop input. Besides, laptop output is connected with virtual glasses and positioning unit displaced on RPA operator helmet ensuring virtual RPA piloting. Power supply for turn, pitch and track sensors and engine control sensor is provided from laptop battery.

EFFECT: improvement of RPA operators training; improvement of RPA flight safety.
