DARPA Flight Simulator
DARPA Flight Simulator
Phase 1, SBIR
In 1987, HinesLab won a Phase-1 SBIR project from DARPA to develop a SIMNET networked flight simulator that pilots in various locations could fly together and against each other to practice their flying skills. This physical simulator model represents Phase-2 level work done on a Phase-1 budget.
This optical approach was made possible by the newly available single-lens video projector. Other video projectors at that time were 3-lens CRT projectors (Barco, etc.).
