Motion Drive Signals for Piloted Flight SimulatorsThis report summarizes a mathematical approach to the problem of flight simulators' inability to provide realistic motion cues and presents logic synthesized for the Ames All-Axis Motion Generator. Both the theory developed and the logic presented should be applicable to a wide variety of motion simulation problems. |
