A method of simulating an aircraft one-engine inoperative (“OEI”) event includes operating a supplemental power unit (“SPU”) at a first SPU power level less than an SPU contingency power rating, operating a primary engine at a first primary-engine power level, reducing the primary-engine power level to less than the first primary-engine power level, and maintaining a sum of the primary-engine power level and the SPU power level at a power level substantially equal to the SPU contingency power rating.

A rotorcraft flight simulator system includes physical flight control devices for a rotorcraft vehicle. Each of the flight control devices is configured to generate, when actuated, one or more control signals via an output connector of that flight control device. The system includes a programmable interface with multiple input pins, and each of the output connectors is coupled to a respective input pin. The programmable interface includes a controller configured to attribute particular control signals received at a particular input pin to a specific flight control device. The system includes a flight simulator computer configured to receive output signals from the controller via an Ethernet port. The output signals include, for the specific flight control device, header information indicating the specific flight control device and flight control data corresponding to a particular control signal received at the particular input pin that is associated with the specific flight control device.

In an aspect of the present disclosure is a system for simulating an electrical vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, including a fuselage 104 comprising one or more pilot inputs, each of the pilot inputs configured to detect pilot datum; a concave screen facing the fuselage 104; a plurality of projectors directed at the concave screen; a computing device communicatively connected to the plurality of projectors, the computing device configured to: receive the pilot datum detected by the pilot inputs; generate a simulated eVTOL flight maneuver as a function of the pilot datum; and command the plurality of projectors to display one or more images based on the simulated flight maneuver.

The system and method for defining boundaries of a simulation of an electric aircraft is illustrated. The system comprises a sensor, a computing device, and a remote device. The sensor is configured to detect an aircraft location datum, detect a boundary datum associated with a three-dimensional flying space, and transmit the aircraft location datum and boundary datum to a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive the aircraft location datum and boundary datum from the sensor, determine a distance datum between the aircraft location and boundary as a function of the aircraft location datum and boundary datum generate a recommended aircraft adjustment as a function of the distance datum, and transmit the distance datum and recommended aircraft adjustment to a remote device. The remote device is configured to receive the distance datum and recommended aircraft adjustment and display them to a user.

A simulator includes a control stick including a first rotatable control shaft and a second rotatable control shaft; a first reaction force generator including a spring that generates a reaction force to an operation of the first control shaft; a second reaction force generator including a spring that generates a reaction force to an operation of the second control shaft; a motor that displaces the spring to change a neutral position of the first control shaft; and a motor that displaces the spring to change a neutral position of the second control shaft. An output shaft of the motor is located below the first reaction force generator, and an output shaft of the motor is located above the second reaction force generator.

An aircraft VR training system includes: training terminals that generates simulation images for performing simulation training in common VR space and provides the simulation images to trainees individually associated with the training terminals; and a setting terminal including setting information necessary for generating the simulation images. The setting terminal transmits the setting information to the training terminals. The training terminals set the setting information received from the setting terminal, and transmit setting completion notification of the setting information to the setting terminal. After the setting terminal receives the completion notification from all the training terminals, the setting terminal causes the training terminals to start simulation training.

A VR training system includes: a training terminal that generates a simulation image for simulation training in VR space and includes an avatar of a trainee linked to action of the trainee in real space and a controller with which the trainee performs an omission action. When an omission action is performed with the controller in a series of actions in the simulation training, the training terminal omits a predetermined action of the avatar and updates the simulation image from a state before the predetermined action to a state after the predetermined action.

Systems and methods for adjusting focal distances of images displayed to a user at a designated eye point of a simulator are provided. An image may be generated for display by a screen, wherein the image is reflected by a mirror to the designated eye point. A simulated distance from the designated eye point to an object in the image may be determined. A focal distance for the image may be determined based on the simulated distance. A simulated size of the object may be determined based on the simulated distance. An adjustor may alter a distance between the screen and the mirror to achieve the focal distance. A size of the object may be adjusted in the image based on the simulated size.
