Multi-axis seat

The Motion Cueing Seat (MCS) system comprises the seat itself, a separately sited Electrical Equipment Cabinet (EEC), control systems and cable looms to connect to the input power supply, to the host simulator and between the EEC and the seat. The design will be incorporated into a real or replica ejection seat. Installation methods will be as per a real aircraft.

The MCS employs electric actuators coupled to dynamic elements to provide the following body stimuli:

• Eye height changes accountable to vertical acceleration are imparted through variations in seat bucket height.
• Changes in lumbar pressure due to vertical acceleration (heave) are stimulated by a cushion hardness change mechanism.
• Fore and aft acceleration (surge) stimulus comes from variations in backpad pressure.
• Lateral movement of the backpad accounts for lateral/rolling acceleration (sway).
• Shoulder straps, harness tightening - Negative ‘G’ cueing and Cat Lander cueing.
