Technical Analysis of Ground-Based Remote Takeover of In-Flight Scenario Restoration

Abstract

This paper systematically analyses the development history of flight simulators and the current state of research into overload simulation accuracy, focusing on scene reproduction technology during ground-based remote takeover flights. The evolution from mechanical simulators to algorithm-driven and digitally integrated systems is reviewed, highlighting their critical role in Single-Pilot Operations (SPO). It further elaborates on significant advances in high-dynamic overload simulation technology concerning dynamic modelling, real-time motion planning, and multi-axis overload reproduction. Centrifuge-based simulation platforms have achieved breakthroughs in structural design, control systems, and integrated systems, enhancing the fidelity of ground-based simulation. However, research also indicates that current technology still faces challenges in multi-system coordination, the realism of low-G simulation, and human-machine adaptability. Future development, therefore, requires more intelligent motion control algorithms, enhanced human factors and ergonomics research, and the integration of digital twins with simulation systems. These advancements are essential to robustly support the ground simulation requirements for evolving ‘single-pilot operation’ and future autonomous flight modes.
