The Visual Motion Simulator mounted on a syngergistic motion base

The Visual Motion Simulator (VMS) is a general-purpose simulator consisting of a two-person cockpit mounted on a six-degree-of-freedom synergistic motion base. The VMS provides a visual out-the-window scene with a field-of-view of 106 by 36 degrees. Motion cues are provided in the simulator by computer algorithms which command the relative extension or retraction of the six legs (hydraulic actuators) of the motion base. The visual scene is displayed by means of four display systems which are compatible with the Computer Generated Image (CGI) system. The VMS supports research studies where motion is a critical cue for numerous types of aircraft or space vehicles. The main instrument panels include six color graphics electronic displays. The cockpit is equipped with programmable control loading systems to provide for roll, pitch, and yaw controls for each crew member

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Visual Motion Simulator (VMS) mounted on a synergistic motion base. The VMS is a versatile simulator designed with a two-person cockpit, situated on a six-degree-of-freedom motion base. Its primary function is to provide an immersive visual out-the-window scene, offering a remarkable field-of-view spanning 106 by 36 degrees. To create realistic motion cues, computer algorithms command the hydraulic actuators of the motion base, controlling their relative extension or retraction. This synchronized movement enhances the authenticity of the simulation experience. Additionally, four display systems compatible with Computer Generated Image (CGI) technology contribute to rendering lifelike visual scenes. The VMS serves as an invaluable tool for research studies that require accurate motion representation in various aircraft and space vehicle scenarios. Equipped with programmable control loading systems, this cutting-edge cockpit enables precise roll, pitch, and yaw controls for each crew member. Within its main instrument panels lie six color graphics electronic displays that facilitate data visualization and analysis during simulations. Housed within Langley Research Center's laboratory facilities, this advanced machine supports scientific investigations in aerospace engineering and operational flight training. While primarily utilized for military applications and not intended for commercial use mentioned in this context), this state-of-the-art simulator plays a crucial role in enhancing aviation training programs at flight schools and military institutions worldwide. Its complexity and technological advancements make it an indispensable asset within the realm of aviation research and experimentation.
