Abstract

A low-cost mobile prototype for high-realism flight simulation is presented in this article. The most relevant part of this prototype that has been called Albatros is the hand-made mobile platform. The authors have the intention of constructing a real-size prototype based on the mock-up described here. This mock-up is based on a Stewart Gough platform and equipped with pneumatic actuators and magnetic potentiometers as position sensors. The mobile platform receives the flight information coming from a commercial flight simulator in the form of the reference position for the six actuators. Thus, the mobile platform can track the simulated aircraft movements thanks to the implementation of six proportional-integral controllers. An Arduino Mega circuit board is the interface between the computer and the mock-up. The high-realism flight simulation is achieved by means of the prototype motion and the short delay measured between the simulated aircraft movements and the platform ones.
