Description

Method for simulating flight conditions of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft

The invention relates to a method for simulating flight conditions of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Simulators for flight simulation are known, which enable a simulation of the movement of an object to be simulated, such as an aircraft, in six spatial degrees of freedom. Such simulators are designed as hexapods or as a so-called Stewart platform, which carries a model of the cockpit of an aircraft to be simulated. The windows are surrounded by screens or projection screens on which environment images adapted to the respective simulation stand are displayed. A disadvantage of such flight simulators is that they are very large, heavy, cost-intensive and inflexible. With a particular type of flight simulator, only one type of aircraft can be simulated at a time, and usually not the full functionality and, above all, the full mobility of the actual aircraft can be simulated, since known flight simulators have only a low actual mobility. For example, roles, therefore a - in the rule - with each type of aircraft ausfuhrbares maneuver, with known flight simulators are not simulated. Such known flight simulators are already very limited at the maximum actually achievable inclination and the actually achievable climb or angle. Much larger values of the respective angles are suggested to the user via a depiction of the surroundings which deviates from the actual inclination or the actual ascending angle or angle of attack. Furthermore, the achievable with such known flight simulators accelerations are extremely limited. Experience has shown that this can lead to the occurrence of nausea in the subjects performing the test, since the actual inclinations and / or accelerations detected or felt by the human equilibrium organs do not coincide with the inclinations and / or accelerations visually ascertainable or illustrated. Due to the complexity and high cost of such flight simulators, these are generally accessible only to a very limited group of people. Such known flight simulators also have the disadvantage that they do not allow such a realistic simulation of particularly critical flight conditions that this simulation could actually replace flight hours on a real aircraft. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for simulating flight conditions of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft of the type mentioned, with which the mentioned disadvantages can be avoided, and with which critical flight conditions can be simulated so realistic that thereby the scope on real flight hours to learn such flight conditions can be significantly reduced.

This is achieved by the features of claim 1 according to the invention. As a result, critical flight conditions, in particular the takeoff or landing, of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft, such as a helicopter, can be simulated so realistically that thereby the amount of flight hours on the real aircraft, which were previously required for learning such flight conditions can be clearly limited. In the inventive method, a subject is forced to perform a "start" or a "landing" real, therefore actually lift the runners or the landing gear of the aircraft from the ground or against put on this, all acceleration and impact, but also the view the actual conditions at take-off or landing of an actual aircraft. As a result, the cost of pilot training can be significantly reduced, but the quality of the same can be significantly increased, since at a fraction of the cost of real flight hours significantly more takeoffs or landings can be trained than previously customary. Due to the realistic simulation and the possibility to design these at low costs much more intensively than during real flight hours, the training level of the student trainees increases, whereby the risk of accidents in the eventual handling of real aircraft can be significantly reduced. This can also reduce the environmental impact of noise and pollutants. Inventive methods can be carried out on installations which can also be arranged in a no-fly zone or in a quiet old town area. Such systems are not bound to conventional airfields.

The invention relates to a simulator for flight simulation according to the preamble of claim 2. Another object of the invention is therefore to provide a simulator for flight simulation of the aforementioned type, with which the mentioned disadvantages can be avoided, which has a simple and cost-saving design, which is flexible adaptable to different flight simulations, and has a high mobility. According to the invention this is achieved by the features of claim 2. Thus, a flight simulator can be formed, which has a much higher mobility than known flight simulators based on a Stewart platform. Such a simulator according to the invention is furthermore suitable for exposing a subject to much higher accelerations than known simulators based on a Stewart platform, which leads in particular to a substantially increased agreement of the perceived movement of the visually displayed movement. With such simulator according to the invention for flight simulation, for example, even extreme flight conditions such as inverted flight, roles, steep turns, and simple aerobatic maneuvers to air combat situations can be simulated realistically. By the actually achievable inclinations and / or climbing or angle, which match the simulated angles much better than previously known, and / or by the actually achievable Bescheunigungen, which match the simulated Bescheunigungen much better than previously known, it comes at a simulator according to the invention for flight simulation only in far more extreme states of motion, such as in a simulator based on a Stewart platform to an occurrence of nausea in the executing subjects.

Due to the high flexibility of a simulator according to the invention for flight simulation, such is not limited to the simulation of an aircraft. Rather, it can be simulated with a variety of different driving situations, such as motorcycling, the control of a ship or a kayak in heavy seas or whitewater, a ride on skis, a descent with a bicycle, etc ..

Due to the low production and operating costs of such simulator for flight simulation, such a simulator can be made accessible to a much larger group of people than was previously possible in simulators according to the prior art. As a result, as well as by the much higher possible realism, a simulator for flight simulation according to the invention can afford valuable amounts in the training of vehicle drivers, pilots and athletes, since dangerous flight conditions such as spins can be simulated realistically. A simulator according to the invention can also be used for entertainment purposes due to the simple construction and the low cost, such as driving and / or flight simulation games for computers and / or game consoles for operation with a simulator according to the invention for driving and / or flight simulation can be adapted. As a result, for the first time, the movement states and / or accelerations, which have hitherto been only visually illustrated, can be experienced or experienced by the player on his own body. As a result, a much enhanced gaming experience can be achieved, or the boundaries between game play and realistic simulation can be significantly shifted. As a result, the influences acting on the imaginary figure in play become tangible to the human player for the first time. This also makes it possible, for example, to set up a simulator according to the invention for driving and / or flight simulation in amusement arcades and / or at fairs. The subclaims, which as well as the claims 1 and 2 simultaneously form part of the description, relate to further advantageous embodiments of the invention. The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which only preferred embodiments are shown by way of example. Showing:

1 shows a preferred Ausführungsforrn of a simulator according to the invention in elevation; FIG. 2 shows the view according to FIG. 1 with a subject; FIG.

FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of a mobile simulation unit according to the invention with a simulator according to FIG. 2 in operating arrangement; FIG. FIG. 4 shows a mobile simulation unit according to FIG. 3 in the rest position; FIG. and FIG. 5 shows a simulator according to FIG. 1 in axonometric representation.

1 to 5 show a simulator 1 for flight simulation, comprising at least a first receptacle 2 for at least one subject 3, a movement device 4, at least one control member 5 and at least one moving image display device 6, wherein the first receptacle 2 with the movement device 4 substantially is rigidly connected, wherein the movement means 4 is formed for moving the first receptacle 2 in at least six spatial degrees of freedom, wherein the control member 5 for at least indirect interaction of the subject 3 is formed with the moving means 4, and wherein the moving image display device 6 for visualizing a simulated environment is formed, wherein the movement device 4 is designed as an industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics. Such simulator 1 for flight simulation is particularly well designed for carrying out the method according to the invention for simulating flight conditions of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-flight-capable aircraft.

As a result, a simulator 1 for flight simulation can be formed, which can be flexibly used for a large number of different flight simulations without major structural adjustments. Such simulator 1 for flight simulation can be manufactured and operated at a small part of the cost of a known simulator based on a Stewart platform, and allows a far more impressive and / or realistic nearer simulation of a driving and / or flight situation as simulators for Flight simulation according to the cited prior art.

As a result, a flight simulator can be formed which has a much higher mobility than known flight simulators based on a Stewart platform. Such a simulator 1 according to the invention is furthermore suitable for exposing a subject to much higher accelerations than known simulators based on a Stewart platform, which leads in particular to a substantially increased agreement of the perceived movement of the visually displayed movement. With such simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation, it is also possible, for example, to realistically simulate extreme flight conditions such as inverted flight, roles, steep curves, and simple aerobatic maneuvers right up to air combat situations. By the actually achievable inclinations and / or climbing or angle, which match the simulated angles much better than previously known, and / or by the actually achievable Bescheunigungen, which match the simulated Bescheunigungen much better than previously known, it comes at a simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation only in far more extreme states of motion, such as in a simulator based on a Stewart platform to an occurrence of nausea in the executing subjects.

When used as a driving simulator, driving behavior and ground conditions can be simulated much better than previously known, in particular close to reality, so that differences between different vehicles can easily be experienced in the simulation.

Due to the high flexibility of a simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation, such is not limited to the simulation of an aircraft or of an automobile. Rather, a plurality of different driving situations can be simulated with it, such as Motorcycling, the control of a ship or a kayak in heavy seas or whitewater, a ride on skis, a descent with a bicycle, etc .. Due to the low manufacturing and operating costs of such a simulator 1 for flight simulation, such a simulator can also a much larger group of people be made available, as was previously possible in simulators 1 according to the prior art. As a result, as well as the much higher possible realism, an inventive simulator 1 for flight simulation can afford valuable amounts in the training of vehicle drivers, pilots and athletes, since this dangerous driving and / or flight conditions, such as skidding or spinning can be simulated realistically , A simulation simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation can also be used for entertainment purposes due to its simple structure and low cost, whereby flight simulation games for computers and / or game consoles can be adapted for operation with a simulator according to the invention for flight simulation. As a result, for the first time, the movement states and / or accelerations, which have hitherto been only visually illustrated, can be experienced or experienced by the player on his own body. As a result, a much enhanced gaming experience can be achieved, or the boundaries between game play and realistic simulation can be significantly shifted. As a result, the influences acting on the imaginary figure in play become tangible to the human player for the first time. This also makes it possible to set up a simulator according to the invention for flight simulation in amusement arcades and / or at fairs.

A simulation simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation is preferably provided for simulating substantially all movement sequences which people can be exposed to by devices, arrangements and / or animals whose behavior they can control and / or regulate. These may be, for example, land vehicles, such as automobiles, motorcycles, trains, construction machines, bicycles and / or tanks, aircraft, such as aircraft, helicopters and / or gyroplanes, spacecraft, such as the space shuttle, and watercraft, such as watercraft Motor ships, sailboats and / or kayaks, to sports equipment, such as skateboards, surfboards and / or skis, or even mounts, such as horses, elephants and / or dromedaries act. In further consequence - for the sake of better readability - only the term vehicle can be used. This term may include in a physical interpretation all of the aforementioned devices, arrangements and / or animals. The subject invention further relates to a method for simulating flight conditions of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft, with a simulator 1 whose movement device 4 is designed as an industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics, wherein movements of a arranged on the moving device 4 first receptacle 2 for at least one Volunteers 3 are controlled by means of at least one control member 5, wherein the at least one control member 5 is actuated by a arranged in the first receptacle 2 subjects 3 such that a connected to the first receptacle 2 ground contact device, such as runners and / or a chassis of a Floor is lifted or placed on a floor.

The term vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft in this case includes any type of aircraft which is able to take off vertically, therefore take off, and / or to land, therefore, on a ground or surface, set up. In particular, this term includes all types of so-called VTOL aircraft (VTOL - Vertcal Take-Off and Landing), therefore any type of helicopters or helicopters, but also aircraft we the Harrier, the F-35 or the Yak-38, or tilt rotor aircraft like the V-22. As a result, critical flight conditions, in particular the takeoff or landing, of a vertical take-off and / or vertical-landing aircraft, such as a helicopter, can be simulated so realistically that thereby the amount of flight hours on the real aircraft, which were previously required for learning such flight conditions can be clearly limited. In the inventive method, a subject is forced to perform a "start" or a "landing" real, therefore actually lift the runners or the landing gear of the aircraft from the ground or against put on this, all accelerations and shocks, but also the view the actual conditions at take-off or landing of an actual aircraft. As a result, the cost of pilot training can be significantly reduced, but the quality of the same can be significantly increased, since at a fraction of the cost of real flight hours significantly more takeoffs or landings can be trained than previously customary. Due to the realistic simulation and the possibility to design these at low costs much more intensively than during real flight hours, the training level of the student trainees increases, whereby the risk of accidents in the eventual handling of real aircraft can be significantly reduced. This can also reduce the environmental impact of noise and pollutants. Inventive methods can be carried out on systems which also in a no-fly zone or a quiet old town area can be arranged. Such systems are not bound to conventional airfields.

A simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation has at least one first receptacle 2 for at least one subject 3, which may be any type of first receptacle 2 for a subject 3. It is preferably provided that the first receptacle 2 is designed according to the planned simulation object. In a preferred use of a simulator 1 according to the invention for simulating an aircraft and / or a land vehicle, it is provided that the at least one first receptacle 2 is designed as a seat 10, in particular as an aircraft seat 11, automobile seat and / or motorcycle seat. Particularly preferably, it can be provided that the seat 10, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, is a replica of an ejection seat of a military aircraft. But it can also be provided seats 10 from conventional aircraft or motor vehicles.

According to the invention, at least one first receptacle 2 for a subject 3 is provided. It can be provided to provide a predeterminable number of first receptacles 2 for a predeterminable number of subjects 3. For example, it may be provided that the predeterminable number of receptacles 2 is part of a cockpit or a cockpit model, such as an aircraft and / or land vehicle, whereby the simulation can be carried out particularly realistic, since in such an arrangement, the controls and controls 5 according to one can be arranged and operated simulating vehicle.

It is particularly preferred that simulators 1 according to the invention for use with the method described above have a bottom contact device, which is preferably connected rigidly or movably to the first receptacle in such a manner that it picks up during take-off or landing or landing on or on a ground or ground, to the first recording of propagating vibrations as much as possible corresponding to the vibrations occurring in a comparable real aircraft. The ground contact device is designed depending on the aircraft to be simulated as runners, suspension or a combination of both. The first receptacle 2 is connected substantially rigidly to a movement device 4, the movement device 4 being designed to move the first receptacle 2 in at least six spatial degrees of freedom. By means of the movement device 4, the first receptacle 2 and the test person 3 arranged therein can be essentially free within certain limits, within the scope of the adjustment possibilities of the movement device 4 Room to be moved. This makes it possible to move the subjects 3 in a way, or to expose these subjects 3 accelerations, as previously not possible in known simulators. Erfϊndungsgemäß it is provided that the movement device 4 is designed as an industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics. Such industrial robots 7 with serial kinematics are manufactured in a variety of designs and are used in automated manufacturing. It is preferably provided that the industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics is designed as an articulated-arm robot 8, in particular as an articulated-arm robot with at least six adjustable axes. Such an articulated-arm robot 8 has at least one robot arm 15, which comprises a predeterminable number of partial arms 16 connected to one another by means of joints 17. FIGS. 1 to 5 show a preferred embodiment of such an industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics as a so-called 6-axis articulated-arm robot 8. The axle is preferably referred to as an axis of symmetry around which or along which an adjustment is possible is. Therefore, a rotational adjustment about an axis and / or a translational adjustment along an axis. Preferably, the joints 17 of the articulated arm robot 8 are adjusted electromechanically for a simulator according to the invention. But it can also be provided to adjust these hydraulically and / or pneumatically. The term degree of freedom can be understood as a degree of freedom in the strictly physical sense, therefore be understood as three translational degrees of freedom and three degrees of freedom of rotation. The term degree of freedom can also be understood in the sense that each degree of freedom designates an independent possibility of movement of the movement device 4, therefore of the industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics. An industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics, which has six independent movement possibilities, such as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, therefore need not necessarily have six physical degrees of freedom. A - in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 5 - missing possibility of translation across the robot arm 15 is irrelevant in the application, since such a movement in most of the vehicles to be simulated usually not possible anyway. A simulator 1 according to the invention for flight simulation has at least one control element 5 for the at least indirect interaction of the subject 3 with the movement device 4. The control member 5 is preferably adapted to the vehicle to be simulated, and formed according to the preferred applications as a steering wheel and / or control stick 12, wherein further control elements, such as accelerator pedals, thrust lever 20, brake pedals, Trim wheels, rudder pedals, handlebars, reins, stirrups and the like, can be provided. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 has two control elements in the form of a push lever 20 and a control stick 12. According to the usual in modern fighter aircraft arrangement of the main controls according to the requirement that the hands of the pilot should not leave the throttle lever 20 and the joystick 12 in the dogfight (HOTAS: hands on throttle and stick) on the throttle lever 20 and the joystick 12 more - In FIGS. 1 to 5, not shown - control members 5 may be arranged. By means of the at least one control element 5, the test person 3 can influence the behavior of the movement device 4. Hiebei is preferably provided that it is not a direct control of this movement device 4. Rather, it is provided that the test person 3 transmits control commands via the at least one control element 5 to at least one computing and control unit, which controls the movement device 4 taking into account the characteristics of the vehicle to be simulated and the respective state of a currently running simulation. The reaction of a vehicle is generally dependent on its respective driving conditions - depending on the state of a simulation, for example influenced by wind and gusts - and is therefore taken into account by the computing and control unit in the control of the movement device 4. The at least one computing and control unit further controls a moving image display device 6, which is designed to visualize a simulated environment, wherein the environment shown in each case is constantly adapted by the computing and control unit to the respective simulation. Preferably, it can be provided that the moving image display device 6 comprises at least one screen, which is in particular substantially rigidly connected to the at least one first receptacle 2, and / or that the moving image display device 6 comprises at least one projector, which images at least one, to the Projection screen arranged around simulator projected. The use of a screen together with the use of a cockpit model is a simple and effective solution since the cockpit windows can be formed by screens. By using projectors and projection surfaces, the subject 3 can be given the illusion of a wide free space around them. In the particularly preferred embodiment according to FIG. 2, it is provided that the moving image display device 6 comprises at least one video eyeglass 9, which in particular comprises a position sensor. In the embodiment of FIG. 2 is the Video glasses 9 integrated into a pilot helmet 21, which the subject 3 carries. By means of the position sensor, which can be formed for example by means of acceleration pickups or by means of a laser gyro, data is transmitted via the respective current viewing direction of the subject 3 to the computing and control unit, which adjusts the video signal for driving the moving image display device 6 accordingly. Video glasses 9 have the advantage that they fill the entire field of view of the subject 3, whereby a distraction of the subject 3 can be avoided by external events. Furthermore, the output of an adapted to the simulation sound, sound and / or background noise can be provided by the computing and control unit. Particularly preferably, it can be provided that the at least one computing and control unit comprises a game console and / or a personal computer. It is provided that a game console and / or a personal computer is part of the computing and control unit, and / or that a game console and / or a personal computer controls the computing and control unit. Therefore, a game console and / or a personal computer form an association with the computing and control unit. As a result, it is also possible to use commercial or correspondingly adapted simulation software for game consoles and / or personal computers together with a simulator 1 according to the invention. As a result, the applicability of a simulator 1 according to the invention is substantially expanded. Because of the flexibility and the low manufacturing and operating costs of a simulator 1 according to the invention, simulations in a quality that was hitherto closed even to professional users can also be offered to a broad public at low cost.

In such an embodiment of the subject invention, in which the computing and control unit comprises a game console and / or a personal computer, a preferred method for driving and / or flight simulation is further provided, wherein played on a game console and / or a personal computer, a computer game in which a character, such as a Spielfϊgur an ego-shooter, adventure, sports and / or jump-and-run game, and / or a vehicle, such as a vehicle of a Formula 1 game, and / or an aircraft of an air combat game, is moved. The player transmits control commands for controlling the movement of the figure and / or the vehicle to the game console and / or the personal computer. It is therefore provided in the preferred method that at least a first control command to the game console and / or the personal computer - or the computing and control unit which together with the Game console and / or a personal computer is formed as a composite - is transmitted, wherein the first control command, the movement and / or acceleration of a figure and / or a vehicle is controlled in the computer game, the game console and / or the personal computer generates at least one output signal , and with the output signal the movement and / or acceleration of the first recording 2 is controlled, wherein the actual movement and / or acceleration of the first recording 2 is at least equivalent to the movement and / or acceleration of the figure and / or the vehicle in the computer game , The player therefore plays a computer game, and the movements and / or accelerations of the character and / or the vehicle influenced by the course of the game are transferred equivalently to the movements and / or accelerations of the first shot. Under equivalent is hiebei preferred to understand the bijective mapping of the movement and / or acceleration space of the figure and / or the vehicle in the computer game on the movement and / or acceleration space of the industrial robot 7 with serial kinematics. By means of the method according to the invention, if the player is arranged in the first receptacle 2, the movements and / or accelerations experienced by the character and / or the vehicle in the computer game can be made physically tangible, whereby computer games have an as yet unknown realism Get drama. As a result, a physical load of the player can be achieved, and the increasingly prevalent in computer gamers physical deficiencies, which are caused by a lack of physical activity are counteracted.
