Fixed-based flight simulator development for Human-machine Interaction

With continuing improvement in hardware and software, flight simulator plays an expanding and important role in the training of aircraft crews, design of new aircraft, entertainment and Human-Machine Interaction. With the development of China large commercial aircraft, flight simulator can be used to research cabin equipment arrangement to fulfill human-machine interaction comfortable requirement and aircraft performance evaluation. Based on the background, a fixed-based reconfigurable flight simulator was developed. In order to reduce development cost and software development time consuming and debugging difficulty greatly, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf software and Rapid Prototyping technology were adopted. This paper shows you the development process and the research application.
