ABSTRACT:
An aircraft crosswind training simulator has a fixed-pitch cockpit rotatably mounted atop a platform. Rotation of the cockpit is controlled by motor controllers that are responsive to movement of the cockpit's steering control. A rotation sensor detects rotation of the cockpit and communicates with a motor controller that controls the direction and speed of a motor mounted to the platform. The motor is engaged with a drive wheel that drives the platform laterally across the floor in response to rotation of the cockpit that is detected by the rotation sensor. An instructor input switch manipulates the motor controllers to introduce additional forces to the rotation of the cockpit and/or additional forces to the lateral movement of the platform, simulating external forces present during crosswind conditions.
