Rotary Aircraft True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seats for Simulators [ Patent Pending ]

The ACME True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seat (DMS) is a cost effective method of providing motion cues to a pilot or other vehicle operator. The dynamic seat adds inertial cues experienced in the operational system, whether its an aircraft, ground vehicle or other platform. Motion cues enhance the immersive experience of simulation, enabling better training and operator experience. The Dynamic Motion Seat delivers state-of-the-art performance providing vibration and motion cues in five independent axes of control giving you a full 6 DOF system.  It uses three directions of movement - vertical, longitudinal, and lateral plus has differential surge that combines with sway motion to replicate roll.

Rotary Aircraft Simulation Training Value

The ACME True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seats (DMS) set a new standard of value in the simulation world. The Rotary Aircraft DMS provides a motion training solution with the highest value including simulated feel of:

  • Aircraft pitch, roll, and yaw
  • Touchdown bump or tire problems
  • Runway rumble, runway expansion joint bumps,
  • Helicopter rotor malfunctions such as main rotor out-of-track, out-of-balance, or delaminating
  • G-effects
  • Gunfire vibrations, weapons fly-out
  • Obstruction impacts

US Miltary H-60 US Military H-60: 
H-60 type, True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seats are installed in the H-60 Operational Flight Trainer(OFT) and the Weapon System Trainer (WST)at Kirtland AFB. The seats have been in operation since 2005. In addition, one of the ACMEs H-60 DMS was successfully used in an evaluation program for the H-1 Huey Reconfigurable Operational Flight Trainer (ROFT) at Kirtland. 

US Air Force V-22 US Air Force/Marines V-22: 
ACME delivered four Dynamic Motion Seats to The Boeing Company in Philadelphia to support the V-22 simulators.  The True Q™ seats are used to support the V-22 and H-60 simulators in an interchangeable fashion.  This is an a testament to the flexibility and reliability of the ACME Dynamic Motion Seat. The labs have been using a set of 4-Channel seats in the V-22/H-60 trainers since 2005 and have recently received a second set of 5-channel seats from ACME.  

US Navy SH-60 US Navy SH-60: 
CAE USA has installed ACME SH/MH-60 style True Q™ seats for the Tactical Operational Flight Trainers (TOFT) provided for the US Navy.  Six seats have been delivered and installed in the trainers.

US Army Apache AH-64 US Army Apache AH-64: 
ACME provides the DMS computers for the AH-64 program as well as engineering support and tuning as requested.   
US Army Comanche AH-66 US Army Comanche AH-66: 
ACME completed full design and engineering analysis for the prototype AH-66 attack helicopter.

US Army OH-58 Kiowa US Army OH-58 Kiowa:  OH-58 Kiowa is a family of single-engine, single-rotor, military helicopters used for observation, utility, and direct fire support. Bell Helicopter originally manufactured the OH-58 for the United States Army, based on the 206A JetRanger helicopter. The Kiowa has been in continuous use by the Army since 1969. The latest model, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, is primarily operated in an armed reconnaissance role in support of ground troops. The OH-58 has been exported to Austria, Canada, Dominican Republic, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia; as well as having been produced under license in Australia.
European NH-90 European NH-90:  The NHI NH90 is a medium sized, twin-engine, multi-role military helicopter manufactured by NHIndustries and Helibrás. It has been ordered by several nations, and entered service from 2007.
US Navy CH-46 Sea Knight US Navy CH-46 Sea Knight:  The Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight is a medium-lift tandem rotor cargo helicopter, used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to provide all-weather, day-or-night assault transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment. Assault Support is its primary function, and the movement of supplies and equipment is secondary. The tasks include combat support, search and rescue, support for forward refueling and rearming points, and CASEVAC and Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP). The commercial version is the BV 107-II, commonly referred to as simply the "Vertol". 
US Navy SH-60 US Navy SH-60: The Sikorsky SH-60/MH-60 Seahawk is a twin turbo shaft engine, multi-mission United States Navy helicopter. The U.S. Navy uses the H-60 airframe under the model designations SH-60B, SH-60F, HH-60H, MH-60R, and MH-60S. Able to deploy aboard any air-capable frigate, destroyer, cruiser, fast combat support ship, amphibious assault ship, or aircraft carrier, the Seahawk can handle antisubmarine warfare (ASW), undersea warfare (USW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), naval special warfare (NSW) insertion, search and rescue (SAR), combat search and rescue (CSAR), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC).
US Marines Presidential Helicopter US Marines Presidential Helicopter: Marine One is the call sign of any Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States. It usually denotes a helicopter operated by the HMX-1 "Nighthawks" squadron, either the large VH-3D or the newer, smaller VH-60N "WhiteHawk". Both are due to be replaced by the VH-71 Kestrel, a derivative of the EH101. A Marine Corps aircraft carrying the Vice President has the call sign Marine Two. Marine Corps aircraft carrying the family of the President of the United States adds the designator F to have its call sign become Marine One Foxtrot.
Miltary H-60 Military H-60: H-60 is often used as a general name for a wide family of U.S. military helicopters. However, they all use a modified mission symbol in addition to the 'H' vehicle type designator under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system. H-60 may refer to any of the following: UH-60 Blackhawk, SH-60 Seahawk, HH-60 Pave Hawk, HH-60J Jayhawk, VH-60 Whitehawk, MH-60 Knight Hawk.
US Miltary V-22 US Military V-22: The V-22 Osprey is a multi-mission, military tilt rotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. It is designed to perform missions as a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. The V-22 was developed by Bell Helicopter, which manufactures it in partnership with The Boeing Company Rotorcraft Systems. The initial operators are the United States Marine Corps and Air Force. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classifies the Osprey as a model of powered lift aircraft.
Commercial Helicopters Commercial Helicopters:  The first production helicopters were built for the military, which has been their largest user. In addition to their military function, these aircraft also have offered great promise for civil government and commercial customers even though they are complicated and expensive machines. Thousands of helicopters have performed many commercial and civil functions throughout the United States and worldwide, although in nowhere near the same numbers as military helicopters have been used.  Major suppliers of commercial helicopters are Bell Helicopter and Sikorsky Aircraft.
