| Abstract | Reference 1 presents an analytical and experimental methodology for studying flight simulator fidelity. The task was a rotorcrafi bob-up/down maneuver in which vertical acceleration constituted the motion cue. The task considered here is a.side-step maneuver that differs from the bob-up one important way: both roll and lateral acceleration cues are "available to the pilot. It has been communicated to the author that in some VMS studies, the lateral acceleration cue has been found to be the most important.2 It is of some interest to hypothesize how this motion cue associated with "outer-loop" lateral translation fits into the modeling procedure discussed in Ref. 1 where only "inner-loop" motion cues were considered. This Note is an attempt at formulating such an hypothesis and ana!ytically comparing a large-motion simulator, e.g., the VMS, with a small-motion simulator, e.g., a hexapod. |
