Abstract	The V-22 engineering simulation located at the Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) in Patuxent River, MD has a long history of support from the NAVAIR IPT composed of Boeing, Bell and NAVAIR. The SAIC role in this environment is to provide NAVAIR support in the areas of simulation installation, simulation verification and validation, flight control system analysis and flight test data analysis. The MFS is a unique testing and simulation facility composed of high fidelity cockpits, 8 simulation test stations, aircraft flight hardware and high fidelity aerodynamic/flight control/propulsion models. High Fidelity cockpits include V22, F/A-18 A-F, H-60 R/S, F-14, JSF, T-45, S-3, C-2, H-53 and CH-47. The 8 simulation stations feature 3 M2DART projection systems, 3 wide angle projection systems, 6 DOF Motion Platform and 6 pC-NOVA image generators. One of the more import capabilities at the MFS is the aircraft hardware-in-the-loop which consist of flight control computers, mission computers, FADEC, and multi-functional displays. The V-22 simulation is used to support V-22 Integrated Test Team in the areas of engineering development and analysis, pilot proficiency training and emergency procedures, pilot technique development and pilot and test team flight rehearsal. The simulation has supported numerous flight test plans, engineering evaluations, departure resistance testing, flight control and JASS shakedown testing, aerial refueling and formation flight, aircraft mishap investigations, shipboard operation and envelop expansion. Flight Test Rehearsal has become an important use of the MFS. This is accomplished by a PCM and a pseudo telemetry link between the MFS and flight test telemetry stations. The pilots fly in the simulator while the test team is located in a telemetry room across base. This process prepares the pilots for performing flight test maneuvers and demonstrates aircraft response. The test team at the telemetry station is prepared for data analysis, knock-it-off calls and voice communications. A significant advancement in flight test capability at MFS is the development of a GTR Correlation Tool. This tool correlates expected aircraft response with flight test data to provide departure indications during real time flight test.
