Method and system for displaying virtual environment during in-flight simulation. A simulation environment is selected for a training simulation of an airborne platform operating in flight within a real environment. The position and orientation of a display viewable by an operator of the airborne platform is determined with respect to the selected simulation environment. The display displays at least one simulation image comprising a view from a virtual altitude of simulation environmental terrain in the selected simulation environment, while the airborne platform is in flight at a real altitude above the real environmental terrain in the real environment, the virtual altitude above the simulation environmental terrain being a lower altitude than the real altitude above the real environmental terrain. The simulation image is displayed in accordance with the determined position and orientation of the display, such that the simulation environment is adaptive to operator manipulations of the airborne platform.

A method includes receiving state information of a virtual movable object in a simulated movement from a movement simulator associated with a movable object and determining movement information for the simulated movement by associating the state information with context information. The state information includes information identifying a location of the virtual movable object in a virtual space. The context information includes information identifying a location of the user terminal, which is at a different location than the movable object in a real space. The method further includes displaying the simulated movement on a display associated with the user terminal based on the movement information, and receiving control data to control the simulated movement in the virtual space using the user terminal when the movable object is in simulation and to control movement of the movable object in the real space when the movable object is in real operation.

Systems and methods include providing a virtual reality (“VR”) flight emulator system that simulates control, operation, and response of a vehicle. The flight emulator includes a control interface and a head-mounted display worn by a user. Motion, orientation, and/or forces experienced by the simulated vehicle are imparted to a user through a motion-control seat. Multiple flight emulators can be connected to a communication network, and a master flight emulator may teleport into a slave flight emulator in order to observe, overtake, override, and/or assume control of the slave flight emulator. Inputs made via the control interface of the master flight emulator or during playback of a pre-recorded training exercise or flight mission are translated into the control interface, head-mounted display, and motion-control seat of the slave flight emulator to provide real-time feedback to the user of the slave flight emulator.

A method and system for modeling aerodynamic interactions in complex eVTOL configurations for realtime flight simulations and hardware testing which includes decomposing the aircraft into aerodynamic subcomponents, wherein the interactions between these components are handled by flow simulations of the surrounding fluid, which may be Euler flow CFD simulations. A computer generated simulation can be used to analyze the fluid flow and pressures, the forces delivered by an aircraft into the fluid and the forces onto the aircraft from the fluid, to determine the position and attitude of the aircraft, and other aspects. The system may be used as a flight simulator for pilot training in a realtime environment. The system may be used to support component testing using an interface to those components, such as flight electronics and actuators, to test the components in high fidelity simulations of actual flight demands on those components. The system may also be used to support design analysis in non-realtime to run numerous simulations on different designs and to provide comparative output.
