The Aerospace Simulation Research and Development Branch (AFS) presented their research on simulation fidelity at the American Helicopter Society's 69th Annual Forum in Phoenix, Arizona in May 2013. This prestigious international conference is the premier venue for the exchange and discussion of technical progress in vertical flight technology. The paper titled, “Simulation System Fidelity Assessment at the Vertical Motion Simulator” received the Best Paper award in the Modeling and Simulation track authored by AFS branch members. The paper described a study, which demonstrated the improvement in simulation results when the end-to-end simulation system response is optimized to be similar to flight. (POC: Steve Beard)
