Problem Statement Summary
In interdisciplinary team of mechanical, computer and electrical
engineering students are reengineering the base of an outdated flight
simulator to have movements characteristics akin to that of a Corsair
F4U-4 aircraft.

Current Work:
Existing Motor Rebuild and Servo Integration
- Initial Design: three servo motors
- Redesign: single servo, two
induction!
- More compliant with budget
- Small simulator load makes this
possible
- Induction motor damage update
- Motor stator housings replaced

Current Work:
Rewire VFDs
Given the previous design team’s
wiring…
• Wiring modifications were made
•
Parts of existing setup cut out
•
New wiring allows for variable frequency input
• Old schematics didn’t provide Arduino
pin numbers

Current Work:
Arduino Sketch Development Thus Far
• Reads Joystick(Pots) inputs to move motors
at variable speeds using PWM.
• Easy to write analog output with simple
math.
• Only at half capacity, will be solved with
circuit elements.
• Encoder code is being developed for the
AS25 Gurley Absolute Encoder.

Current Work
What’s Next?
• Interfacing with Servo drive
• shipment estimated between 3/14 and 3/22
• Actual position controlled induction motors.
Connecticut Corsair Senior Design
Current Work
Absolute Encoder
• Provides absolute position information to Arduino controller
• 16 bit resolution - very accurate
• Synchronous serial data communication between encoders and Arduino
• High speed: ~1 microsecond response time
Connecticut Corsair Senior Design
Current Work
Simulation Software: Prepar3D
• Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D Academic v 1.4.4747.0
•
Used for both entertainment and training
•
Immersive cockpit with real-life airports and environments
•
Mission Design, capable of entertainment and training purposes
• SimConnect Developer SDK
•
Add-ons can be written in C, C++, C#.net or VB.net
•
Add gauge processing, replace events processing, record/monitor flights, create custom missions,
weather manipulation, enable hardware with Prepar3D, control additional views and/or AI
aircraft
• F4U-4 Corsair Plane Model Import via A2A
•
A2A is a software add-on company
•
“Aircraft Factory” Line
• Fine distinction: use software to control machine
• Future application: 3D immersive LCD screen
