Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aviation technology flight control systems and relates to an aircraft flap simulation controller. Background Art

[0002] The flap simulation controller is mainly used in flight quality simulators. During the simulated flight, the flap controller is needed to set the corresponding angle position of the aircraft flaps at the moment. Aircraft flaps refer to a wing surface device on the edge of the wing. It is a movable part and its function is to increase lift during flight. When the aircraft takes off, the flaps are offset backward and downward at a small angle, which mainly plays the role of increasing lift and can accelerate the takeoff of the aircraft. When the aircraft lands, the flaps are offset downward at a large angle, which can increase the lift and drag of the aircraft at the same time, so as to reduce the landing speed.

[0003] The common method of installing flap controllers in the flight quality simulator cockpit is to use real aircraft components. Due to the reliability requirements of the aircraft, the structure of the real aircraft components is too complex and the cost is too high, which makes it inconvenient to install and debug in the simulator cockpit. Summary of the invention
