At its booth this week at EAA AirVenture, Redbird is showing a model of a new six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) simulator motion platform that could greatly simplify the operation of simulator motion bases. The system, developed by Redbird Alpha, the company’s new advanced development division, consists of a flat platform attached to spider-like arms connected to fittings that move up and down jackscrews.
