“…An original nonlinear CLS for a vertical flight motion simulator of a large transport aircraft was designed by AmirAhmadi Chomachar and Azizi (2015). A linear CLS design and qualification test for civil aviation aircraft was investigated by Kuppusamy and Yoon (2016, 2017). For more preliminary insight on CLS, an interested reader may consult the paper composed by Kovacic (2018).…”

Purpose Flight simulators are one of the noticeable breakthroughs in aerospace engineering. One of the main compartments of flight simulators is its control loading system (CLS). The CLS functions as a generator of virtual aerodynamic control-loads over control columns of a simulator. This paper aims to present the design of a high-fidelity six six degrees of freedom (6DOF) nonlinear CLS for the Boeing-747 aircraft simulator. Design/methodology/approach An introduction to CLS for flight motion simulators are first recapitulated. Afterward, the commanding devices are explained through schematics available in an engineering sense. This paper then presents in detail, the active control loading strategy and hardware design for the CLS, while also introducing the aerodynamic model structure. The satisfactory computer numerical simulations are presented before the paper ends up in concluding remarks. Findings The multiple input multiple output (MIMO) 6DOF nonlinear CLS for Boeing-747 flight simulator has been successfully developed. The outcome of computer simulations in real-time verifies practicality of the design strategy. The research presented in this paper could be a simple roadmap for prototyping high-fidelity 6DOF nonlinear CLS for flight motion simulators. Originality/value The available control architecture and hardware technologies cannot enable a high-fidelity load realization in a CLS. The existing research has not yet presented a 6DOF nonlinear MIMO CLS architecture along with the underlying controller setup for a high-fidelity load realization. In this paper, the design of a high-fidelity 6DOF nonlinear MIMO CLS for flight simulator of a large transport aircraft has been accomplished.

“…The simulator is driven directly by MATLAB/Simulink models. According to references [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] modern control loading systems are digitally controlled loaders that replicate the force feedbacks of the actual aircraft control hardware to be simulated. The cockpit's controls are rigidly attached to the load cell.…”

This paper presents the design methodologies of a Control Loading System (CLS) drive model for the Research and Didactics Simulator (ReDSim) of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). The analysis of the CLS hardware and interface software is presented. The CLS drive model is intended as an irreversible flight control system of a rotary wing aircraft's collective control, with trim system and force feedback capabilities, mainly as a function of the lever's position. The CLS motor's control parameters are set to fit the application's performance requirements. The drive model is developed in MATLAB/Simulink and is integrated with the XV-15 tiltrotor model of the ReDSim. Two different system identification techniques, the Least Squares and a convex relaxation-based Set-Membership approach, are used to estimate the parameters of the CLS hardware and consequently assess its fidelity to a model of reference. The implementation in the ReDSim has been rated by the pilot according to the Cooper-Harper handling qualities rating scale.
