Redbird Flight Simulations displayed a small-scale version of a manually operated full-motion simulator during EAA AirVenture that the company hoped would lower the cost of flight training. The all-metal proof-of-concept Redbird Alpha deploys weights, pulleys, gears, and jack screws for six-degrees of movement, said Redbird’s Josh Harnagel, as he swung the pilot’s platform to and fro, up and down, side to side.
