The use of flight simulators for pilot training and evaluations is common in the modern aeronautical sector. Whether for airplanes or helicopters, the military and airline companies use this feature to keep their crews operational, safety-oriented and resource-saving. This work presents a proposal for adjusting the washout filter parameters that allows the use of Stewart's platform in helicopter simulators. The identification of the filter parameters was carried out based on tests on an available commercial platform, certified by the company Moog, model MB-E-6DOF/24/1800KG, currently used in the SHEFE helicopter simulator of the Brazilian Army. The work dealt with the physiological aspects of the human vestibular system and its dynamics. Subsequently, the methods for choosing the filter model, and configuration parameters are presented. Three series of tests were carried on the commercial platform and in a real helicopter prepared with special flight test instrumentation. The tests were completed, and the motion platform filter adjustments were made to minimize errors between the movement cues perceived by the pilot in the aircraft and the flight simulator. The results of this work will be used as a basis for the development of a national movement platform for another flight simulator in the development phase.

The Impact

Protection of the natural environment is a key activity driving development in the transport discipline today. The use of simulators to train civil aviation pilots provides an excellent opportunity to maintain the balance between efficiency and limit the negative impact of transport on the environment. Therefore, we decided to determine the impact of selected simulations of air operations on energy consumption. The aim of the research was to determine the energy consumption of the flight simulator depending on the type of flight operation and configuration used. We also decided to compare the obtained result with the energy consumption of an aircraft of a similar class, performing a similar aviation operation and other means of transport. In order to obtain the results, a research plan was proposed consisting of 12 scenarios differing in the simulated aircraft model, weather conditions and the use of the simulator motion platform. In each of the scenarios, energy consumption was measured, taking into account the individual components of the simulator. The research showed that the use of a flight simulator has a much smaller negative impact on the natural environment than flying in a traditional plane. Use of a motion platform indicated a change in energy consumption of approximately 40% (in general, flight simulator configuration can change energy consumption by up to 50%). The deterioration of weather conditions during the simulation caused an increase in energy consumption of 14% when motion was disabled and 18% when motion was enabled. Energy consumption in the initial stages of pilot training can be reduced by 97% by using flight simulators compared to aircraft training.

The Past

Flight simulator is a complex man-in-the-loop (MIL) simulation system. With several decades of development, it has already become important tools of aircraft design and development, and necessary means of pilot training. And simulation credibility and reliability of the flight simulator have been considerably improved in comparison with the past. However, the system of flight simulator has become increasingly complex and difficult to be described clearly. This paper presents the concepts of conceptual layer and achieving layer, analyzes the composition and principle of the commercial aircraft flight simulator for pilot training from the two layers, describes the system architecture in detail. According to the system architecture, three aspects are very important to develop the flight simulator, the first is the fidelity of the simulation models, the second is the performance of cueing devices, and the last are the computing capacity of the host computers and the time delay over the communication networks.
