A patent has been issued for a simulator of aircraft bumping which contains a white noise generator, operational magnetic amplifiers, a step-by-step selector, comparator units, and an automatic pilot. To test the aircraft with the automatic pilot, and to evaluate the performance of the automatic control system directly on board the aircraft, operational magnetic amplifiers are connected in series to the output of the white noise generator. One of these amplifiers is loaded with the step-by-step selector, to the contacts of which a set of resistors is connected, linking the output of the amplifier with the input of the automatic pilot through the comparator units; to these autopilot pickups are also connected.
