Universal Virtual Simulator

Virtual aircraft simulators are used to educate and train aircraft pilots flying solo or with another pilot, instructor, and air-traffic controller. The device contains a capsule installed on a computerized mechanical platform providing up to six degrees of freedom of real-time movement, and a pilot seat. To simulate real sensations of the pilot more closely, the capsule may also be equipped with a control stick, one or more thrust levers, and pedals. The stereo glasses are used to create virtual reality. The invention improves the functionality of the simulator by introducing a virtual avatar with artificial intelligence, which, when flying with a trainee, can replicate the actions of a captain, co-pilot, air-traffic controller, or instructor. The avatar also can maintain a verbal dialogue with the trainee within the scope of a standard pilot communication protocol thesaurus. The device is suitable for any aircraft type without changing the hardware.
