Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to develop a general-purpose flight simulation station, implement a data acquisition system to collect information from the simulator, and design an autopilot capable of performing aircraft takeoff, executing a standard turn to align with a specified point based on latitude and longitude coordinates, and maintaining a desired altitude. This study is part of a larger project that also involves the creation of a wearable device providing haptic and visual feedback to the simulator user, making the experience more realistic. The project is a collaboration between the Politecnico di Torino and Sipal SPA. The simulation station consists of a configurable seat equipped with various hardware attachments, including a joystick, pedals, and throttle.
For visual display, an ultra-short throw projector and two touchscreens were selected to display the cockpit and onboard instruments, and to allow interaction with them
