Fighters jet cockpit simulator is based on 6DOF motion platform PS-6TM-550 with payload up to 550 kg, which is enough to carry the cockpit with equipment and a pilot. The above functionalities proved crucial and allowed us to match the right motion system to this application. The main technical assumptions of the fighter simulators were: small size and lightweight body, mobility and ease of transport, and the 200-250 VAC Single Phase power requirements. The cockpits are dedicated to both professional customers for pilot training and entertainment purposes. Viper Wing, a global manufacturer and supplier of flight cockpits inspired by F-16, F-18 and F-35 fighters, engaged Motion Systems to provide the best products into their flight simulators used by professionals and flight enthusiasts. The F/A-18E/F's first international buyer, Australia, has no plans to order the upgraded cockpit, having already received the first five of its 24 two-seat aircraft.FLIGHT TRAINING F-35 FIGHTER JET COCKPIT SIMULATOR powered by VIPER WING Meanwhile, Boeing is also offering the Super Hornet to buyers in Brazil, Denmark, India, Japan and Kuwait. Canada has invested $150 million to participate in the F-35 development programme, but plans to stage a competition for the procurement contract. Boeing also showed off the new technology in Ottawa in early June at the CANSEC conference and exhibition.īoeing plans to offer the F/A-18E/F for Canada's requirement to replace its ageing CF-18 fleet later this decade. The new cockpit display made its public debut at the Navy League exhibit hall in early May. Although Boeing believes the upgrade would reduce lifecycle maintenance costs, the service does not want to operate two different display technologies at the same time, Gibbons says. The US Navy, however, has already rejected Boeing's overtures to retrofit the display on its fleet. Boeing is evaluating bids from undisclosed suppliers to manufacture the displays. The technology remains in developmental form, but can be integrated in time to meet the timelines for any future sales in foreign markets, he says. The displays can be integrated into both seats for the F/A-18F. The single display can be configured to digitally mimic the Super Hornet's existing cockpit layout, or allow pilots to overlay data from several sources on to a single screen, Gibbons says. The cockpit upgrade for the Super Hornet is intended to equalise one of the perceived advantages offered by the F-35's multifunction, touchscreen display, which measures 8 x 20in (20 x 51cm).īoeing has evaluated a display with the same dimensions as the F-35, but found that pilots have preferred a larger 11 x 19in screen, says F/A-18E/F programme manager Mike Gibbons.
