ABSTRACT:
A desk (10) is easily converted into a vehicle simulator cockpit. The desk (10) has a fixed desktop portion (12) configured to support a computer display screen (16). A removable desktop portion (11) is hingedly and slidably engaged with a back panel (24) of the desk (10) so that the removable desktop portion (11) is movable from a first position alongside the fixed desktop portion (12) to a second position substantially parallel to the back panel (24). A simulator seat (33) which faces the fixed desktop portion (12) and the computer display screen (16), is disposed below the removable desktop portion (11) while in the first position and is exposed while the removable desktop portion (11) resides in the second position. A joystick, keyboard, and throttle platform supports are situated below the removable desktop portion (11) and are movable to positions for supporting a joystick, keyboard, and throttle, respectively, in front of the simulator seat (33). Finally, rudder pedals may be disposed in an open space beneath the fixed desktop portion 12.
