Description

Flight simulator device

[0001] The present invention relates to a flight simulator device that enables flight training to be performed realistically.

[0002]

[0003] The flight simulator device proposed in the past can perform highly immersive flight training through augmented reality based on VR or AR under conditions similar to the interior of an airplane, but the user remains fixed in the chair compared to the tilt of the image, so there is a gap with the image, which reduces the sense of reality and has the problem that the performance of the flight training is significantly lower than that of actual training.

[0004] For reference, the following prior art documents are four recent prior art documents searched using the keyword “flight*(training+simulation)” through the patent information network KIPRIS. By referring to the following prior art documents, one can understand the technical field, background technology, and development status of the present invention.

[0012]

[0013] The present invention was developed to solve the conventional problems mentioned in the background art, and in particular, the purpose of the present invention is to set a task of enabling realistic flight training by allowing the user's chair to tilt according to the tilt of the image, and to solve this problem.

[0029]

[0030] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0031] As illustrated, the present invention is characterized by including a floor frame (10) installed on the floor; a body frame (20) including a monitor (21), an operating panel (22), a control lever (24), and a chair (25); and a plurality of electric cylinders (30) connected to each other so that the body frame (20) is positioned on the upper portion of the floor frame (10) and the body frame (20) is tilted according to the tilt of the image output from the monitor (21).

[0032] In this way, as described in the effect of the invention, the user can perform realistic flight training while adapting to gravity according to the tilt of the aircraft as in real combat, since the aircraft frame (20) tilts according to the tilt of the monitor (21) image while seated on the aircraft frame (20).
