3. Project Overview Visual Display  The purpose of this project is to design and build a system for displaying the flight simulator program.  The visualization technology and mounting system are the main requirements.  It will important to analyze the system, taking into account the effect that the motion table will have on the components.

4. Customer Needs  Immersive Visual Environment  Robust Mounting Strategy  Interface with Flight Simulation Software Engineering Specs ·Cost · Weight · Screen Size · Resolution · Brightness · Acceleration Tolerance · Vibration Tolerance · Material Strength

5. Design Introduction  We have chosen to go with a curved screen design with a projector being the source of the image  Increased screen size  No break in screen  Force on technology reduced  Wraps image closer to pilot  The projector option has 3 major aspects to it:  Frame  Projector  Screen  We have a preferred design, but have come up with a couple different options based on the budget.

6. Frame Design  Because we could not mount to the cockpit itself a frame design had to be made to hold the projectors.  Two designs  Over the cockpit  Behind the cockpit

7. Reasons for Design  Closer to center of gravity  Projectors will see less force  Allows view angle for the pilots to be optimized  Eliminates the need for an extension of the adaptor plate in the back  Design more rigid overall  Height of back design would create a large moment arm on the whole system  Projectors would need an increased angle to get an image below the nose of the plane  Throw distance better

17. Screen Calculations 2’ 7’5’ Arc Length = 5 π = 15.7’ 16:9 Aspect Ratio Screen Height = 5.4ft 4:3 Aspect Ratio Screen Height = 7.2ft

18. Screen Design The proposed screen is a 180° Cylinder with diameter of 10 feet. 7 10ft long square tube (2” x 1/8”) will be placed in the half circle pattern and bolted with flange to the plate. 1/8” thick Lexan panels will be curved across the shape and bolted into place. A fabric sheet will be glued to the plastic panels for a projection surface.
