A flight simulator is typically a ground based device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as atmospheric turbulence, wind shear, precipitation, etc. (READ MORE)
In-flight simulators feature many of the same technologies used in ground based flight simulators but do so in actual flight. Unlike ground based flight simulators, in-flight simulator fly-by-wire flight computers drive real aircraft responses. This allows both pilots and engineers to experience the full spectrum of visual, motion, and tactile cues. (READ MORE)
In-flight Simulators have many uses. In-flight simulators are amazing training, research, and development tools. They allow pilots and engineers to experience concepts they have only read about. For example, In-flight simulators allow pilots to safely experience poor handling characteristics, upset conditions, and much more in a safe and repeatable environment. They are also used extensively in the development of advanced flight controls, feel systems, and displays for manned and unmanned aircraft. These fe
