The objective of a motion system, when used in conjunction with a visual system, is to stimulate the pilot so that he can perceive the required motion cues necessary to fly the simulator within the same performance and control activity as the aircraft. An example of a motion system is the six-degree-of-freedom hexapod shown in Figure E.l. Platform motion allows the pilot to react more quickly to simulated aircraft motion as compared to visual stimuli alone, thus enabling him to co1Tect (and reduce the magnitude) of any deviation sooner than having to wait for the information visually. Without motion cues …
