The First and Finest Electric Control Loading Systems Since 1990

 

 

Control Loading Frames  & Cockpit Assemblies       

        

 

In order to continue to provide our customers with the most complete services possible, Simulation and Control Technologies, Inc. has developed strategic relationships with many vendors in the simulation industry. These relationships allow us to provide our customers with additional services such as re-configurable flight controls, generic flight controls, base frame assemblies and even complete flight training devices.

 

 

A Typical Base Frame

Flight Controls

Assemblies start with a welded steel frame, which provides the structural and mechanical integrity to accommodate our electrical control loading actuators, flight control assemblies, mechanical linkage assemblies, and a base for pilot seating. These frames can also provide attaching points for motion bases, visual systems, and cockpit enclosures.

The steel frame is constructed of a combination of welded square tubing, plate, and angle. Several designs currently exist which incorporate the ELECTRO-LOAD electric control loading units in either a fixed wing (3-axis: pitch, roll, and yaw) or rotary wing (4-axis pitch, roll, anti-torque, and collective) configuration. Variations of these designs have also been developed for either stick or column and wheel configurations, single seat or two seat cockpits, either enclosed or open environment devices and motion and visual mounting structures.

 

The flight control installation for these training devices could include refurbished aircraft flight control components. The use of this type of equipment provides the end user with the most realistic simulation possible for their particular aircraft as well as the confidence that the components will have the structural integrity to withstand the forces generated by the control loading system for many years of training.

The frames are typically enclosed in sheet metal, which is attached to the unit via quick release quarter turn fasteners for easy access and maintenance. These panels can be painted to any customer specification. The decking, which supports the students, instructors, seating, instrument panels, and aisle stands is constructed of a much heavier gauge aluminum. These panels can be painted or covered with a vinyl and/or carpeting material to meet any customer specifications.
