International Classification:
G09B 9/08
US Classification:
434 38
Abstract:
A flight simulation system capable of simulating multiple aircraft through interchangeable instrument panels, throttle quadrants, and control devices (stick and/or yoke). The system has multiple visual displays capable of displaying simulated outside views and instrument displays (e.g. multiple aircraft, avionics suites, gauges, etc.). The instrument panels simulating a particular type of aircraft and containing switches, knobs, and/or buttons of approximately the same type and approximately the same location as in the simulated aircraft. The system containing a communications system compatible with standard pilot headsets and a pilot key for logging, storage, and permissions.

International Classification:
G09B 9/08
US Classification:
434 55
Abstract:
A motion platform providing motion for roll, pitch, heave, surge, yaw, and sway from only three electric motors. Each motor moving one of three frames in a particular direction (roll, pitch, or yaw) via either a pulley style system or a direct system. The motion platform having a control system to precisely move the motion platform in response to received commands. The motion platform capable of operating in a room with at least eight foot ceilings and one standard power outlet. The motion platform utilizing pneumatic cylinders and infrared beams as safety devices.
Aircraft Crosswind Landing Simulator
US Patent:
7866982, Jan 11, 2011
Filed:
Apr 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/736654
Inventors:
Bradley J. Whitsitt - Indianapolis IN, US
International Classification:
G09B 9/00
US Classification:
434 28
Abstract:
An aircraft crosswind training simulator has a fixed-pitch cockpit rotatably mounted atop a platform. Rotation of the cockpit is controlled by motor controllers that are responsive to movement of the cockpit's steering control. A rotation sensor detects rotation of the cockpit and communicates with a motor controller that controls the direction and speed of a motor mounted to the platform. The motor is engaged with a drive wheel that drives the platform laterally across the floor in response to rotation of the cockpit that is detected by the rotation sensor. An instructor input switch manipulates the motor controllers to introduce additional forces to the rotation of the cockpit and/or additional forces to the lateral movement of the platform, simulating external forces present during crosswind conditions.
