NJ Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum part 3
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2006 11:41 pmIf I'm not mistaken, this is a motion simulator made from the cockpit of an F8. no idea if it's operational or what:
Hmmm... this wouldn't be too hard to fabricate...
And speaking of sims,will you look at this... FS9!! There are four of these kiosks; naturally the two boys made a beeline to them. They had never heard of FS9 (I know; sick world we live in); I gave them a few pointers.
Now this... is a sim. Old-school, but not as crude as a Link. It's a Curtiss-Wright Dehmel flight Duplicator, made by CW in nearby Carlstadt.
Here's the instructor's station: to the left is a porthole thru which the student and student's panel can be observed. The disc is for recording data graphically; maybe altitude, I dunno.
The student's "pit".. not sure if there was ever a projection of any kind, or if this was just for instruments. I really ought to have stopped to read the little plaques, etc., but I was on a photo blitz today...my flight sim sickness wuld be complete if i had something like this to shut myself up in... definitely for the best that i don't!
Next: Last from indoors...
