Aircraft cockpit movement simulator - has six rams connecting triangular cockpit platform to upper hexagonal frame

摘要

The device comprises a frame (10) consisting of three tower structures (11, 12, 13) whose tops are interconnected by girders (14, 15, 16), these girders having six points in the same plane parallel to the ground which are connected to the apexes of a hexagon. A platform (20) positioned above ground and under the frame has three points in a similar plane arranged at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Six linear hydraulic servo jacks each have one end attached to one of the six points of the frame and the other ends attached to the three points of the platform. A pilot's cabin is fixed to the platform.
