| IAPETUS - Research Training Simulator
Main tasks fulfilled by the simulator:
- Selection testing of the candidates for military pilots,
verifying their aptitudes and suitability for this profession,
- Military pilots-training and testing military pilots after
long no flying periods,
- Aviation medicine scientific research.
General description of the simulator
The "Iapetus" is a comprehensive full flight simulator,
equipped with 6 DoF motion system. It is a simulator of
the two engine, jet military training aircraft, while its
cockpit layout and dynamics are based on
I-22 "Iryda" aircraft. It is equipped with three channels,
collimating module type, projection system, presenting out-of-the-window view.
History
Towards the end of the nineteen eighties, at the time the
military jet training aircraft, I-22 "Iryda" was
being designed, the construction of its simulator also
begun, in order to facilitate the pilots training
process on this type of aircraft. The simulator subsequently was
installed in the Military Institute for Aviation Medicine in
Warsaw, at the beginning of 1992. The
1997-year saw its comprehensive upgrade. The need for
it was dictated by the new demands posed by the
user, and radically changed the range of
the simulator use, transforming it from a
standard flight simulator into a complex system for
selection of the military pilots candidates and
also enabling research in aviation medicine. This entailed
installation in the cockpit, of the modern medical
equipment for measuring physiological parameters of the
pilot during a flight.
