Microprocessor generated Vertical Gyro-horizon Instrument for the Blue Bird Simulator

Abstract

An X-Y cathode ray tube display for use in a high-performance aircraft simulator facility as a Vertical Gyrohorizon Instrument was investigated. A microprocessor was used to generate the correct angle for the display corresponding to the analog equations of motion of the simulator. An unfavor­able displayed result was obtained. Detailed conclusions and recommendations for further study are presented.
