Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCAs) are central to the development of high-fidelity simulation systems, where they bridge the gap between real vehicle dynamics and the physical limitations of motion ...

Electric actuators replace hydraulics in full-flight simulators while still maintaining that aircraft “feel.” • Full-flight simulators (FFS) replicate the real “feel” of the simulated aircraft. • A 12 ...

Automakers need to reduce. Reduce emissions, reduce costs, reduce crashes, reduce complexity, reduce development time, etc. In October 2020, GM CEO Mary Barra posted something of a manifesto on ...

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—The Redbird FMX motion flight simulator is now available in Waldo Library. The College of Aviation gifted the University Libraries the Redbird to install in the Tech Lab on Waldo ...

A retired NASA space shuttle simulator that was used to prepare astronauts for the motion of the vehicle in flight has moved again, this time to enter its new museum home. The Shuttle Mission ...

The US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFRL) has delivered the first full motion simulator for the Boeing E-4B, a 747-200 modified to be an airborne command post for the US government. The ...

Feel Three, a 3DOF motion simulator for VR, went live on Kickstarter late last month. And owing to its vision in providing a relatively cost-effective solution among a sea of expensive motion ...

Simulators for driving and ones for flying provide a reasonably convincing impersonation of movement through 3D space while sitting in a seat that only moves up and down and side-to-side. But the ...

[Photo: Team Viper] So there’s this group of five high school teenagers from Marin County, California and San Francisco, and they want to build a full-on Battlestar Galactica Viper motion-flight ...

Unfortunately, [Dave Niewinski]’s kids are still too little to go on a real roller coaster. But they’re certainly big enough to be tossed around by this giant robot arm roller coaster simulator. As to ...

If you enjoy flight simulators you might be interested in this quick overview of how the advanced flight simulator created by Simona Research at the Delft University of Technology is capable of the ...
