Abstract:

Recent controversy surrounding the training effectiveness of the six degree of freedom, synergistic platform motion system is centered on several issues, one of which is, surprisingly, just exactly what motion the platform is capable of producing. This paper presents the primary equations and constraints, as well as a number of derived constraints applicable to the Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training ASPT, a representative motion system.
