A helicopter flight simulator consisting of a cabin with conventional instrumentation, cathode-ray tube and four axis flight controls; an outside environment visual system; an acceleration and vibrations simulation system; a noise generation system; and computers with real time software was built. It was used in the design of an air-to-air combat helicopter system. Piloted simulations included adjustment of the controls and the symbologies; adjustment of the fire sequence and evaluation of its practical feasibility (crew workload); evaluation of the interactions between fire control and flight control; and study of the system's operation in back-up modes.
