Before going into space, astronauts spend many hours training on flight simulators allowing them to learn how to fly without life and death consequences. how would you describe the technology the flight simulator is using?

The short answer is, for full-mission flight simulators, specifically by NASA, are built with actual hardware and supported by simulation software. These software take into account every possible scenarios that could be adjusted based on the training. As for the hardware, they receive signals from the software on what they should do.

Explanation:

Some technologies involved are (which are also part of the FAA's requirements):

6 Degrees of Freedom for motionVisual systemsRealistic acoustics Visual effects

This also involves a lot of robotics.

On the topic of motion:

One big and important feature is how motion is simulated - which takes a combined effort of both software and hardware to actually simulate how external forces can also affect the body.

It also takes into account the vibration that is experienced during launch.

The 6 degrees of freedom for motion includes:

Up and downLeft and right - sliding motionBack and forwardYaw - turning motionPitch - look up and downRoll

For flight simulators, there are several levels and requirements being used in the aviation training industry. But one thing that you need to know is that the hardware and software mostly take into account motion.

On the topic of visual systems:

The pilots or crew should have a visual representation of what the outside world looks like with at least 150 degrees of view.

Realistic acoustics:

During simulations, actual sounds should also be present based on the real-life sounds produced during flight.

Visual effects:

If the pilot pivots to the right, or is about to breach the exosphere, the system's display should also take that into account and show it to the crew. This also includes visual effects for specific motions being done.

And as a bonus:

Just until recently, everything was analog (meaning, with dials, buttons, and levers) for the actual aircraft simulation that the pilots/astronauts are using. Update are now being made in NASA and SpaceX along with other rocket and spacecraft companies to move from analog to digital (with touch screens).

While this is an abridged version, it should help you to understand the complexities of a flight simulator.

7.23 main lab 7 - online shopping cart background this main lab extends the earlier prep lab "online shopping cart part 1". (you should save this as a separate project from the earlier prep lab). you will create an on-line shopping cart like you might use for your on-line purchases. the goal is to become comfortable with setting up classes and using objects. requirements this lab can be done individually or as pair programming. expanded itemtopurchase class (15 points) extend the itemtopurchase class as follows. we will not do unit testing in this lab so we will not be giving you the names of the member functions. create good ones on your own. create a parameterized constructor to assign item name, item description, item price, and item quantity (default values of "none" for name and description, and 0 for price and quantity). additional public member functions set an item description get an item description print the cost of an item - outputs the item name followed by the quantity, price, and subtotal (see example) print the description of an item - outputs the item name and description (see example) additional private data members a string for the description of the item. example output of the function which prints the cost of an item: bottled water 10 @ $1.50 = $15.00 example output of the function which prints the item description:
