PSPK-102 Flight Simulator with a Moving Cockpit (six-axis)

In Service since 1982:

General Description:

The flight simulator PSPK-102 is designed to simulate the main flight regimes of low-maneuverable aircraft, including hypersonic ones (take-off and landing, cruise regimes, orbital flight, etc) and also to simulate the motion of a car controlled by a driver for the purpose of investigating the dynamics, stability and controllability of aircrafts and car.

Capabilities:

Cockpit:

two seats with interior and instrumental panels of the Aerospace Plane “Buran” and with the possibility to install other indicators.

Control Levers:

central control column, side stick with electrohydraulic systems for loads application.

Automotive Cabin:

interior, instrumental panels, control levers and pedals like the car “Moskvich” m^-2141.

Visual System:

One channel with an optical collimator and with a digital synthesis of a color image of the Earth surface and runway.

Cockpit Motion System:

6-degree of freedom, support type with the maximum displacements:
vertically from - 1.2 to + 1.2 m, longitudinally and laterally from - 1.5 to + 1.5 m;
roll from - 30 to +30 degrees ; pitch from - 40 to + 40 degrees; heading from -60 to + 60 degrees<

Computer Complex:

upper level computer;
two lower level computers;
interface device (64 channels of Digital-Analogue Transducer, 64 channels of Analogue-Digital Transducer)

Practical Use:

The facility has been used to investigate handling qualities of the Aerospace Plane “Buran”, experimental aerospace vehicles and general-purpose aircraft. The simulator has been prepared for testing stability, controllability and smoothness of automobiles produced by the “AZLK”
