Deployable Mission Rehearsal F-16 C

System Capability

The FLYIT F-16 C Deployable Mission Rehearsal simulator is a totally self-contained simulator with a diesel generator and 120v 240v external power connectors.

Out-the-window view is projected on an 8’ wide by 7’ high screen.

Up to twenty-five cockpits can be networked to fly missions.

The system can be self-started by the pilot.

Instant Combat – puts you into battle without preliminaries.

Dogfight – puts you head to head with other cockpits or against the computer.

Tactical Engagement – allows complex missions to be planned and flown.

High fidelity simulation with few moving parts, low acquisition and a low maintenance cost are the result of FLYIT "direct technology."

A true plug and fly simulator system.

Cockpit Construction

Construction is ½" thick Sintra panels. This is an extremely rigid structure. It is colored through the ½" thickness and, therefore, cannot chip or peel; a maintenance-free finish. The construction is the same as the VolksSim2000 research helicopter simulator FLYIT has delivered to the US Army.

The cockpit perimeter and interior are dimensionally the same as the real F-16 cockpit.

No canopy will be provided. The canopy area will be open. This configuration works well for the F-16.

Cockpit interior dimensions and color are exactly the same as the actual F-16 C.

A pilot ventilation system is included and consists of a high flow nozzle and general low speed, high volume air movement throughout the entire cockpit. A refrigeration air conditioning system can be supplied at additional cost.

The cockpit is completely self-contained with computers, projectors and electrical mounted on board.

Instrumentation

The cockpit contains a fully functional instrument panel.

Left panel

RWR, MFD, airspeed, AOA, and caution lights.

Right panel

DED, MFD, altitude, fuel flow, oil pressure, NOZ DOS indicator, RPM, FTIT indicator and caution lights.

Center lower panel

AOA, ADI, HSI, VVI, instrument mode selector, fuel select, marker beacon light.

HUD

The heads-up display is fully functional.

All instrument panel and right and left auxiliary console functions enabled.

Out-the-Window Display (OTW)

A projection screen measuring 8’ wide, 6’ high provides a 90^o vertical and 110^o wide field of view. A soft screen is used to facilitate shipping and handling. A low replacement cost is achieved.

The (OTW) LCD polysilicon technology projector provides a resolution of 1024 x 768. Brightness is 700 ANSI lumens with a 300:1 contrast ratio.

Switch panels

All switch functions momentary, rotary and potentiometers are hard mounted and replicate size, shape, color and location of those in the real aircraft.

Switch panels are modular and can be modified or altered at anytime and are removable for service.

Controls

The throttle is the same shape and feel as the real aircraft. All switch and cursor functions operate. Detents for idle, mil and afterburner replicate the feel of the real aircraft.

The stick is a force sensitive side stick that feels like the one used in the real aircraft.

All switch functions operate.

Rudder pedals are adjustable fore and aft.

Pilot Seat

Construction is ½" thick gray Sintra. It is dimensionally accurate with upholstery similar to the real aircraft. A subwoofer is mounted in the seat structure to provide full-body environmental vibration.

A four-point harness is provided.

Cockpit Lighting

All information and instruments presented are self-lighted. General cockpit floodlighting is provided.

Switch panels are back lighted and flood lighted as appropriate. A chart light is also provided.

Computers
