Systems, methods, and computer products according to the principles of the present inventions may involve a training system for a pilot of an aircraft. The training system may include an aircraft sensor system affixed to the aircraft adapted to provide a location of the aircraft, including an altitude of the aircraft, speed of the aircraft, and directional attitude of the aircraft. It may further include a helmet position sensor system adapted to determine a location of a helmet within a cockpit of the aircraft and a viewing direction of a pilot wearing the helmet. The helmet may include a see-through computer display through which the pilot sees an environment outside of the aircraft with computer content overlaying the environment to create an augmented reality view of the environment for the pilot. A computer content presentation system may be adapted to present computer content to the see-through computer display at a virtual marker, generated by the computer content presentation system, representing a geospatial position of a training asset moving within a visual range of the pilot, such that the pilot sees the computer content from a perspective consistent with the aircraft's position, altitude, attitude, and the pilot's helmet position when the pilot's viewing direction is aligned with the virtual marker.

A jet aircraft maneuvering characteristic simulation system for a single propeller aircraft includes a power lever, speed brakes, and a controller. The power lever is configured to change a thrust of the single propeller aircraft. The speed brakes are provided on respective right and left sides of the single propeller aircraft. The controller is configured to, in response to an operation of the power lever to raise the thrust of the single propeller aircraft, deploy both the right and the left speed brakes to cause an increase in speed of the single propeller aircraft to be moderate, and control the speed brakes to cause a force in a yaw direction and a force in a roll direction to be generated that act against a turning tendency of the single propeller aircraft by making amounts of the deployment of the right and the left speed brakes different from each other.
