MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A MOTION CUEING ALGORITHM FOR 6DOF FLIGHT SIMULATOR

The present paper proposes the development of a motion cueing algorithm for a flight simulator based on a serial robot motion platform using genetic algorithms for the optimization of the optimal washout filter based on linear quadric regulator. The design, implementation and testing of the algorithm were performed using the dynamic simulation system for pilot-in-the-loop applications, called RoFSim. The proposed motion cueing algorithm converts aircraft dynamics into robot movements, generating high-fidelity motion within the physical limits of the flight simulator. This reproduction includes specific forces and accelerations, allowing the simulation to replicate sensations similar to those experienced in a real aircraft. The results obtained demonstrate the stability and performance of the implemented optimal washout filter, highlighting the potential use of the proposed algorithm in R&D projects and its further development. © 2024, Politechnica University of Bucharest.
