CH-47D Computer Graphics Generated Display Monitor

摘要

The United States Army Aero Flight dynamics Directorate (AFDD) located at Ames Research Center, recently completed flight testing of a CH-47 helicopter to refine the handling qualities requirements for cargo-class rotorcraft. A self contained mobile laser tracking system and telemetry acquisition system was designed and configured to provide the requisite position tracking and telemetry acquisition. Real time tracking data correlated with aircraft acquired telemetry data was used to drive a real time display monitor. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and capabilities of this computer graphics generated display developed specifically for the purposes of real-time flight test visualization.
