Frasca's Reconfigurable Helicopter FTD

Customers: Hillsboro Aviation, Hover Dynamics

The Frasca TruFlite H^TM Helicopter FTD is configured to represent a light single piston engine powered helicopter.  The panel configuration is similar to that of a Robinson R44.  Using Frasca's recently developed TruFlite technology, it It is possible to change the performance of the simulated aircraft to approximate that of the R22, R44 and Schweizer.  The cyclic control is configurable between the Robinson T Bar configuration and a conventional two stick arrangement. 

Cockpit Simulation: The TruFlite H^TM cockpit consists of an open cockpit surrounded by a simple frame that resembles the external shape of a helicopter.  The cockpit includes:

• Panel assembly including an LCD display for the primary instrumentation

• Console assembly including avionics and other aircraft controls.

• Two seats

• Dual collectives

• Dual detachable conventional cyclic controls

• Detachable Robinson Style T bar cyclic control

• Dual anti-torque pedals

Cockpit Instrumentation: The main instrument panel has one large LCD flat screen display on to which the instruments will be displayed using Frasca’s Computer Generated Instrument (CGI) technology (shown below). The quality and the smoothness of the instruments make them very accurate and realistic.
