HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A piece of NASA history made the steady trip to the Lone Star Flight Museum on Tuesday, where it is being permanently housed and on display for space enthusiasts. The Shuttle ...

A retired NASA space shuttle simulator that was used to prepare astronauts for the motion of the vehicle in flight has moved again, this time to enter its new museum home. The Shuttle Mission ...

It seems the usefulness of six-axis flight simulator motion may have been misconceived ever since it was introduced. Training in fixed-base high-fidelity simulators - provided they have first-class ...

Simulation is an essential tool for improving flight safety through better pilot training, but it could be even more effective, according to some in the industry. Indeed, airlines such as Lufthansa, ...

A space shuttle has returned to NASA's Johnson Space Center almost a decade after it was last "flown." The shuttle, or more specifically, a simulator of the winged spacecraft's flight deck, which ...

Electric actuators replace hydraulics in full-flight simulators while still maintaining that aircraft “feel.” • Full-flight simulators (FFS) replicate the real “feel” of the simulated aircraft. • A 12 ...

Flight simulators, ranging from inexpensive apps to sophisticated full-motion devices, are increasingly vital for pilot training, offering cost-effective and safe ways to practice diverse scenarios, ...

This paper describes an analytical model suitable to study the effects of servovalve characteristics on flight simulator performance. The model considers flow non-linearities, servovalve edge ...

Simulators for driving and ones for flying provide a reasonably convincing impersonation of movement through 3D space while sitting in a seat that only moves up and down and side-to-side. But the ...
