Hydraulic Flight Motion Simulation (FMS) Systems
Ideal Aerosmith specializes in the design and manufacture of high performance
motion systems for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing of missile seekers (IR,
Laser or RF), guided munitions and inertial guidance systems.
Ideal is the premier supplier of state-of-the-art direct-drive hydraulic motion
systems. These systems feature high torque hydraulic actuators that provide a very
attractive “torque to weight ratio” when compared to electric drive motors with
similar torque output.
Ideal Aerosmith hydraulic flight motion simulators are configured with the AERO
4000™ Digital Motion Controller. This controller is Ideal Aerosmith’s flagship controller
and an essential component of the larger Ideal motion simulation systems. Our AERO
4000™ Controller is built upon commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software
platforms to minimize cost and delivery schedules, as well as to provide Ideal’s
customers with a product that does not lock them into proprietary technology and
single-source part vendors.
Built from the ground up for configurability of both hardware and software, the
AERO 4000™ is the most robust controller available for performing high-dynamic HWIL
missile flight simulations.
