Detailed Description:

The aim of this project is to design and build a flight trainer to allow person to remotely control a model aircraft in a wind tunnel. The aircraft model must be tethered within the wind tunnel, and must be able to undertake manoeuvres in response to control input from a pilot seated behind. This simulator will be used for undergraduate laboratories and promotional exhibits.
