Analytical Calculation of the Drives of a Flight Simulator Platform with 2 Degrees of Freedom

Abstract

With constant technological advances, flight simulation has increasingly resembled a real flight. The use of motion platforms together with a virtual simulation is what is most recent in this field, due to its global approach to a flight. However, these flight simulators generate a great added value, so that for trivial trainings and entertainment their use becomes impracticable. With this in mind, in this work was presented a low cost project of a new model of flight simulator containing both simulations, visual and motion. More specifically, this work aims to demonstrate an analytical method for calculating the drives of the designed simulator, so that it supports the loads of the structure and user, in addition to the dynamic torque required by the simulation platform. Furthermore, it was shown how to obtain the inertia of a complex structure as designed using SolidWorks software and also how to acquire magnitudes such as acceleration and angular velocities using Flight Simulator X and Link2FS Multi software. Finally, with the torque and power values ​​required to perform the pitch and roll movements, a commercial selection of the motors was made for platform so that these drives would supply the demand of both torque and power.
