直到最近，高保真飞行模拟设施的使用还仅限于大型政府和工业研究机构，很少有机会将这种设施用于工程教育。然而，随着低成本、高性能计算和基于PC的仿真技术的到来，在学术环境中利用飞行模拟器来支持本科工程学位课程的研究和教学活动已经变得可行。本文介绍了操作和活动进行利用这样一个系统，HELIFLIGHT，在利物浦大学。该模拟器将6自由度运动平台、宽视场视觉和可编程力感系统与FLIGHTLAB建模环境相结合，为本科生提供了一个高保真的学习工具。这使得深入研究飞行器操纵品质和驾驶员-飞行器技术问题成为可能.在工业相关研究活动中进行的建模和仿真活动的基础上，该设施被用作本科学位课程中有价值的交互式教学设备，并且是新的基于问题的学习（PBL）模块开发的核心。一种新的方法来教学的飞行操纵品质的本科生使用PBL，从本科生项目工作和皇家工程学院HEADSTART航空航天重点暑期学校计划的亮点，被提请说明HELIFLIGHT在利物浦的操作和六年的操作过程中吸取的教训。
The use of high fidelity flight simulation facilities for research has, until relatively recently , been limited to large Government and Industry rese arch organization s and there have been few opportunities to use such facilities for Engineering Education. However, with the arrival of low -cost, high performance computing and PC based simulation technol ogies , the utilization of flight simulators has become viable within an academic environment to support both research and teaching activities in undergraduate Engineering d egree program s. This paper describes the operation and activities carried out utiliz ing such a system , HELIFLIGHT, at the University of Liverpool . The simulator combines a 6 degree of freedom motion platform , wide field of view visuals and programmable force -feel system with the FLIGHTLAB modeling environment, to produce a high fidelity r esearch tool available to undergraduates . This enables the in -depth examination of flight vehicle handling qualities and pilot -vehicle technology issues. Building on the modeling and simulation activities carried out in industry related research activities , the facility is utilized as a valuable interactive teaching device in undergraduate degree programs and is central to the development of new problem -based -learning (PBL) modules. A novel approach to the teaching of Flight Handling Qualities to undergradu ates using PBL, highlights from undergraduate project work and the Royal Academy of Engineering HEADSTART Aerospace Focus summer school program , are drawn on to illustrate the operation of HELIFLIGHT at Liverpool and the lessons learned during six years of operation .
