Abstract

This proposal is related to the SIVOR Project (Process 2012/51085-3), funded by FAPESP within the PITE II modality. The objective of this Project is the design, construction and validation of a robotic base flight simulator with a representative fidelity with respect to a real aircraft. Within the SIVOR Project context, the objective of this proposal is the development, implementation and validation of the control system responsible for converting the theoretical movement of the aircraft (resulting from the command of the pilot) in commands executed by the robot. The main requirement of this control system is to ensure that the pilot will be subjected to movements that realistically simulate the accelerations to which he would be subjected in the real aircraft.
