Design of a comprehensive visual display system to be attached to and used in conjunction with a fixed-based electronic flight simulator is described. The recommended design concept is based upon a rotary-sweep optical system capable of generating an extremely wide-angle presentation using narrow-angle techniques. Validity and feasibility of the system were established through engineering study and experimental development. The optical system is currently being subjected to a detailed mathematical analysis by an optical engineering firm for confirmation of the first-order design. Subject to the results of this mathematical analysis, it was concluded that Phase II of the proposed visual flight attachment system should be started. (Author)
