Development Status of Helicopter Simulator Technology

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current technical status and future prospects regarding helicopter simulators. In the introduction section, we briefly summarize the concept of the simulator and the development history of helicopter simulators. In the main section, the development status of helicopter simulation technology is first presented and the FAA/EASA certification is then introduced as a verification method for the reliability evaluation of the developed simulator technology. In addition, several issues that need to be resolved along with future development directions are discussed to improve the reliability of helicopter flight simulator.
