What:  Full Scale Flight Simulators


We'll be joined by John Wojnaroski, Chief Engineer at
LFS Technologies, Inc. (who spoke at LUGOD about FlightGear back in 2002),
who will talk about the suite of hardware, electronics, and software
that they have integrated with open source projects such as FlightGear
flight simulator, JSBSim flight dynamics model, and OpenSceneGraph,
to provide an integrated package that provides turn-key operations out
of the box while retaining the ability to customize and tailor
hardware and software to customer requirements. A 737NG flightdeck
simulator was delivered to NASA/Ames in 2008. The Global Observer
program at AeroVironment is currently using the electronics to operate
a pilot workstation for the air vehicle.
