This invention is a motion simulator (300) wherein the pitch, roll, and yaw axes are separated from the participant to provide a more realistic simulated motion experience in that the participant feels a translation as well as a rotation of his body as he performs a simulated climb or roll. The simulator includes a pitch boom (114) rotatable about the pitch axis and a swing boom (134), perpendicular to the pitch axis rotatable about the roll axis. The swing boom supports a participant compartment (160) which can rotate about the roll axis. The participant compartment has a center of gravity which is separated from the intersection of the pitch and roll axes. A counterweight (230) may be slidably connected to a second section (231) of the swing boom opposite the participant compartment and driven by a counterweight drive assembly (232) to achieve both static and dynamic balance. The simulator may be supported by a platform (302) which is rotatable about the yaw axis which intersects the pitch and roll axes. The passenger compartment may be raised and lowered along the yaw axis to permit ease of entry and egress of the participant to and from the passenger compartment.
Cette invention concerne un simulateur de vol dont les axes de tangage, de roulis et de lacet sont séparés du sujet qui s'entraîne afin d'obtenir des conditions de simulation de vol plus réalistes, ledit sujet pouvant ainsi ressentir les mouvements en translation et en rotation de son corps lorsqu'il exécute la simulation d'une ascension ou d'un tonneau.
