Title Flight Simulator
Supervisor Dr. William E. Lynch
Description The objective of this project is to build a physical scaled/full size flight simulator with 6 degree of freedom. The simulatorÂâï��ï��s physics will be based on a fixed wind or rotary flying machine that will be managed in GPL open source project named Ââï��ï��Flight GearÂâï��ï��. The feedback from this open source application will be used to provide input to an embedded single board computer (ESBC) running linux, which in turn will manage the mechanical actuators. The simulator will incorporate a mechanical part, depending on actual cost it may vary from a full size simulator capable of supporting an adult to a small scale simulator for demo purposes only. For either variation of the mechanical setup, it will be connected to an ESBC which is connected to the main computer by USB bus or an Ethernet connection.
