Abstract


The subject of the study is the cockpit of a dynamic flight simulator. The flight simulator has been used for a long time for training pilots of any type of aircraft. This type of training is more economical. A flight simulator improves control skills in extreme situations with minimum risks for the future pilot. Training on the flight simulator makes it possible to reproduce unfavorable weather conditions at any time. The pilot is on the ground in a special cockpit that is mounted on a movable platform. This system is necessary to provide as close to real flight conditions as possible. The subject of the research in the article is an aviation simulator on the Stewart platform. The aim is to create and analyze the cockpit for the flight simulator with the help of software. The paper presents an already simulated platform and its characteristics. Considering its overall dimensions and weight the cabin is modeled in SolidWorks. The developed 3D model is a cockpit of an airplane with the selected overall dimensions for convenient use. The balsa material from which the cabin is projected, as they are not important aerodynamic characteristics. What matters is the ability of the cabin to withstand the planned loads, the weight of the cabin and its appearance. A static analysis of the loaded cabin was conducted. A loaded cab means that inside the cab the loads are applied in two places. These loads are equal to the weight of the pilot's seat with a person and the weight of the entire electronic part by means of which the movement of the cockpit and visualization of the flight takes place. For the analysis, the cockpit was fixed at the attachment points to the platform. The attachment will be done by welding. The analysis includes the following shear and bending moment diagrams: loads to assess the structure withstand a given weight, displacement, deformation, safety margin to understand what the maximum possible loads the model can withstand without deformation. The research was conducted using SolidWorks Simulation software. Based on the data obtained from the epectra, conclusions were made about the operability and safety of the developed structure
