摘要

Most aircraft simulators are manufactured separately for each model because the structure and flight characteristic of each model is different. However, light aircrafts are somewhat similar in terms of form and structure. In addition, from the flight schools’ point of view, it is not economically beneficial to purchase and maintain light aircraft simulators for each different aircraft type. Globally, there are four types of light aircraft models that are most widely used for basic flight training. If all four models are separately selectable within a single flight simulator, there will be a lot of economic benefits in terms of reducing the purchasing costs as well as the reduction of pilot training costs. In this regard, this study aims at developing the multi-purpose variable-type simulator technology so that it can train four different aircraft types using only a single simulator. The utility of simulator is divided into the use of flight training and the use of leisure time. The flight characteristics are analyzed for each model type to emulate the actual aircraft. It is anticipated that the developed simulator can be produced at a lower cost while occupying less floor space and using less electric energy than the previous one.
