PROBLEM STATEMENT

Current flight simulator systems are often large, bulky, and complex, making them difficult to transport and set up in varied locations. This lack of portability poses significant challenges for training accessibility and scalability. Additionally, the development, maintenance, and operation of these simulators require substantial resources, limiting their widespread deployment and adaptability to different training environments.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The proposed flight simulator system is built around a highly portable and modular design, featuring a durable, easy-to-transport case that serves as the foundation for all simulator components. The setup is engineered for rapid on-site assembly and disassembly, enabling flexibility across various training environments. Central to the system is a joystick and throttle combo modeled after the A-10C Warthog aircraft, offering users intuitive and precise control for enhanced realism.

​

To elevate the immersive experience, the simulator is fully compatible with the Meta Quest 3 VR headset and seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Flight Simulator software, delivering a highly realistic and engaging virtual flight environment. The system also incorporates a DOF Reality M2 motion platform, providing two degrees of freedom, pitch and yaw, to replicate the physical sensations of flight and further enhance the training experience.
