Flight Testing Of Fused Reality Visual Simulation System

摘要

1. Using a NTPS Gippsland GA-8 Airvan research aircraft, a new standalone system for closed-loop handling qualities assessments was successfully demonstrated that allows virtual out-of-the-window elements to be combined with the real-world cockpit visual environment. 2. As a result of these flight tests, all of the issues uncovered in the initial flight test campaign on the Calspan Learjet Inflight Simulator and during the initial GA-8 checkout flights have been corrected and tested in flight. 3. Many enhancements for Fused Reality as well as other potential training uses were identified by the team which will aid in improving and commercializing this technology. 4. Future plans for the Fused Reality system include potential integration of the system into the NTPS curriculum.
