Simulation and Design of Control and Display Unit for Full Flight Simulator

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of simulation difficulty of the control and display unit (CDU) for full flight simulator, it is real significance to design the CDU. The principles and design methods are expounded about the CDU in detail. The simulation CDU is tested on full flight simulator. The results show that the simulation CDU can establish flight plan, modify flight route, and set the performance parameters. The component has correct logic, high fidelity and reliable performance. The simulation CDU can meet full flight simulator design requirements.
