摘要 飞行模拟器是设计/开发、测试/鉴定、培训和研究社区不可或缺的一部分，并且其利用率正在不断扩大。使用飞行模拟为飞行员培训和研发提供安全的环境，必须以模拟器保真度的量化为基础。虽然飞行训练模拟器存在监管模拟器标准，并且新标准正在制定中，但先前的研究表明，当前标准并未提供用于评估模拟保真度的完全定量方法，尤其是在研究环境中。本文报告了利物浦大学的一个研究项目（提升标准）所取得的进展，其中开发了模拟器保真度的新预测和感知测量方法。新指标源自处理质量工程实践。国家研究委员会（加拿大）贝尔 412 ASRA 研究飞机的飞行测试以及在利物浦使用 HELIFLIGHT-R 模拟器进行的驾驶模拟试验的结果显示了采用操控质量方法进行保真度评估的有效性。对新指标的分析表明，对飞行和模拟之间的差异有适当程度的敏感度。
Abstract Flight simulators are integral to the design/development, testing/qualification, training and research communities and their utilisation is ever expanding. The use of flight simulation to provide a safe environment for pilot training, and in research and development, must be underpinned by quantification of simulator fidelity. While regulatory simulator standards exist for flight training simulators and new standards are in development, previous research has shown that current standards do not provide a fully quantitative approach for assessing simulation fidelity, especially in a research environment. This paper reports on progress made in a research project at the University of Liverpool (Lifting Standards), in which new predicted and perceptual measures of simulator fidelity have been developed. The new metrics have been derived from handling qualities engineering practice. Results from flight tests on the National Research Council (Canada) Bell 412 ASRA research aircraft and piloted simulation trials using the HELIFLIGHT-R simulator at Liverpool are presented to show the efficacy of adopting a handling qualities approach for fidelity assessment. Analysis of the new metrics has shown an appropriate degree of sensitivity to differences between flight and simulation.
