Answer:

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):

  1. 6 Degrees of Freedom for motion
  2. Visual systems
  3. Realistic acoustics
  4. 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:

  1. Up and down
  2. Left and right - sliding motion
  3. Back and forward
  4. Yaw - turning motion
  5. Pitch - look up and down
  6. Roll

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.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Hierarchical is scenario is used to between condition and ratings.

Explanation:

Master   -details its open up all details of the candidate and his rating to Universal Containers is tracking by interviewer ratings. where they are no classified. Just data collection.

Lookup:- where it fetches all details and further analysis will be a big task.

Search  :- it is a just search where relevant information based on queries.

Hierarchical;- it is further classified and it is very to do analysis and takes decisions.

Since it is classified further drill down is possible and make a good analysis report can be made.

6. The following is a dump of a DATA chunk in hexadecimal format. 00000015 00000005 0003000A 00000000 48656C6C 6F000000 a. Is th
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) taking 00000005, it is a 13th bit which is 0, and therefore, we'd call it an ordered chunk

b) taking 00000005 again, it is 14th (B) and 15th (E) bits are 0 and so we'd call it a middle fragment

c) 00000015 is equal to 21, it is not a multiple of 4, and as such, it needs 3 padding bytes

d) 00000005 is equal to 5 making it a TSN. So the TSN is 5

e) taking 0003, we can then say the SI is 3

f) taking 000A, the SSN is then 10

g) the message is 48656C6C
