FAA Compliant Control Loader Systems
A control loader that feels slightly off in aileron, elevator, rudder or trim can undermine an otherwise capable flight simulator. For operators pursuing qualification, and for OEMs building devices that must stand up to technical review, FAA compliant control loader systems are not a cosmetic feature. They are part of the training value, the engineering

Motion Base Platform: Understanding Non-Linear Dynamics
A non-linear motion base platform math model refers to the mathematical representation of a motion platform which is typically a Stewart platform or similar 6DOF system—where the relationship between actuator lengths and platform position/orientation is non-linear. This means that small changes in actuator length do not result in proportional changes in platform position or rotation, and the system’s behavior cannot

Checking in on one of our older installations
Twelve Years Later: A Motion Base Platform Still Going Strong In 2015, the Servos & Simulation team returned to Harris Corporation in Melbourne, Florida to inspect a high-angle six-axis motion base platform we originally installed in 2003. The system had been in continuous use for over a decade, supporting Sea State 6 antenna testing for shipboard communications. Upon arrival, we found the
