This is a detailed image of one of the three motion base mounting points.
This is a closeup of one of the mouting points. You can see some
of the feedback mechanism enclosures here.
This is the rear of the 747-400 full motion simulator. The name
"Eddie Allen" was one of the early Boeing
test pilots. Before the advent of the 777, each simulator was
named after a person that had a profound
effect on Boeing. For the 777 on, the logo "Working Together" has replaced
this tradition.
To give you an idea of how large this simulator cab is, the middle
entry door is less than three feet wide.
The 777 simulator in the background carries a visual system that spans
greater than 160 degrees of forward view. With the
advent of newer video systems, they're able to do this without any
visible seams in the image. Pretty impressive.
The simulator in the foreground is currently being "flown". The
catwalk to the right will electrically lower when it's commanded
to do so by pressing a switch inside the cab.
