Area of Science:

  • Aviation Technology
  • Virtual Reality Systems
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Traditional flight simulators often lack immersive sensory feedback.
  • Advancements in virtual reality (VR) offer new possibilities for realistic training environments.
  • Pilot training requires effective simulation of complex maneuvers and environmental interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a novel virtual reality flight simulator.
  • To enable user interaction within a simulated aircraft cockpit environment.
  • To provide a platform for practicing flight operations including takeoff, flight, and landing.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a VR-based flight simulator using head-mounted displays.
  • Implementation of an interactive environment simulating an airplane cockpit view.

  • Independent control systems for aircraft movement and pilot head tracking.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional VR flight simulator prototype has been developed.
    • The simulator projects an immersive cockpit view, both internal and external.
    • Independent control of aircraft and head movement allows for off-axis viewing angles during flight.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed VR flight simulator provides a foundation for realistic pilot training.
    • The system's independent control mechanisms enhance the simulation's fidelity.
    • Further development will incorporate more complex environmental objects and scenarios.
