SPACE DISORIENTATION TRAINING APPARATUS AND FLIGHT SIMULATOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a space disorientation training apparatus and a flight simulator which are used for a pilot to receive both of centripetal force and centrifugal force and experience its environment or for general people to enjoy amusement or receive education. SOLUTION: The rotation of a cockpit around a planetary axis is controlled by a remote console (remote control) computer and the rotation of the cockpit around a pitch axis and a roll axis is controlled only by an on-board cockpit computer or the combination of the cockpit computer and the console computer. The rotation of the cockpit around a yawing axis is controlled only by the console computer or the combination of the console computer and the cockpit computer. Slip rings are used for the planetary axis and the yawing axis and the cockpit is rotated around each axis by 360°. Rotation around the pitch axis, the roll axis and the yawing axis is respectively performed by a high-torque direct drive DC motor and smooth and continuous motor operation at wide-range speeds including speeds not more than the threshold which can not be sensed by a pilot can be performed.
