Description

The invention relates to aircraft, in particular, to simulators for training in driving. The invention:

The pilot simulator of an ultralight aircraft with a computer containing a model that includes blocks for simulating the visual environment, simulating acoustic noise, simulating normal and abnormal operating modes, simulating flight conditions, contains the pilot's seat, right and left handles, right and left control pedals in the hardware, characterized in that in the simulator hardware both control knobs are removable, additionally there is a removable glider (upper) control knob, touch panel, helmet with a monitor screen ora, several computer models simulating flight on various ultralight aircraft, including data input units about the position of control knobs and pedals, data input from the touch panel on the pilot's direction of view, a computer instructor; the pilot simulator of an ultralight aircraft further comprises an acceleration platform for installing the aforementioned pilot seat, knobs and control pedals, and in a computer model, a unit for simulating acceleration effects; instead of the monitor on the pilot helmet and touch screen, the hardware of the simulator includes a projector connected to a computer and a diorama screen installed in front of the pilot's seat.

Known devices for training the vestibular apparatus of a person, for example, a pilot (A.S. No. 136631 of 04/11/1960), consisting of a seat equipped with a swivel back with seat belts, suspended on cord shock absorbers pivotally mounted on a trapezoid, which in turn is mounted on a trapezoid another trapeze hanging on the ropes. In the working position, when the trainee sits, fastened with straps, the horizontal axis of rotation is located slightly above the common center of gravity, which ensures ease of rotation of the trainee with the seat.

The main disadvantages of such designs are the narrow scope and the inability to use them to develop skills in controlling a paraglider.

A helicopter simulator was chosen as a prototype, including a helicopter cockpit equipped with acoustic systems, a set of equipment with an adapter system, and the appearance and arrangement of elements of the equipment set

repeat the appearance and arrangement of the equipment components of the helicopter cockpit kit, the simulator also contains a simulator of the cockpit visual environment, a simulator instructor workstation and a simulator of regular and emergency modes of operation of the helicopter, a simulated acoustic noise unit that is connected to the speaker systems. The simulator instructor’s workplace contains a control panel and controls connected to a computer complex, which contains a programmable block for simulating flight conditions and operating modes and a simulator control and control unit interconnected, the helicopter’s cabin is equipped with video cameras connected to video monitors installed at the workplace instructor, which is equipped with a radio simulation unit connected to the simulator control and monitoring unit, workplace monitoring means and made in the form of a single unit, the imitation of the outside visual environment includes a control and monitoring unit for the simulator, which is also connected to an acoustic noise simulation unit, an adapter system, a control panel and an instructor workstation control unit.

The main disadvantages of the prototype are another set of aircraft controls, a rigid model that does not allow simulating various aircraft, a high level of complexity and cost, with the consequent impossibility of using such simulators for training pilots of ultralight aircraft.

The objectives of the invention are the creation of a simple and effective simulator for training pilots of ultralight aircraft in order to improve flight safety and reduce training costs.

Figure 1 shows the simulator pilot of an ultralight aircraft. Here 1 is the right control knob, 2 is the left control knob, 3 is the glider (upper) control knob, 4 is the right pedal, 5 is the left pedal, 6 is the pilot's seat, 7 is the computer, 8 is the helmet with a monitor screen, 9 is touch panel, 10 - acceleration platform.

Figure 2 also shows the simulator pilot of an ultralight aircraft. All elements coincide with those shown in figure 1, with the exception of element 8 - a helmet with a monitor screen. Instead, this model contains the following elements: 11 - a diorama screen, 12 - a projector.

A replaceable computer model for simulating each ultralight aircraft includes blocks:

- data input on the position of the control knobs and pedals;

- data input from the touch panel on the direction of the pilot's gaze;

- imitations of the visual environment;

- simulations of acoustic noise;

- modeling of standard and emergency operating modes;

- simulation of flight conditions;

- computer instructor.

To learn to fly on the selected ultralight aircraft, the pilot removes unnecessary control knobs, launches the desired computer model, tells the computer instructor on which ultralight aircraft he will learn to fly, sits in the pilot's seat, puts on a helmet with a monitor, puts his feet on the pedals, grabs the handles (y) management and under the guidance of a computer instructor, sequentially fulfills the exercises included in the training complex, achieving accuracy and correctness of the actions performed.

If the simulator kit includes a projector and a diorama screen (see figure 2), then a helmet is put on without a monitor screen.
