I never go to the gym. As I'm lifting weights, or using a
machine, or running on a treadmill my mind is consumed by
hatred for the present and I can think of nothing but
leaving
the gym.
Flight simulators, however, are lots of fun. Today as I was
fighting a runaway aileron trim and holding
back 70lbs of
force on the control wheel with my forearms, it occurred to
me that about an hour of that would be better than a trip
to
the gym. Rather than just deal with flight control failures
all
the time the Sim Gym could include sims for aircraft types
with unusually high control forces.
A session would consist of something like: follow the
instruments to each waypoint and altitude for 30 minutes,
don't crash. Different profiles could be created to workout
different muscles of the arms, and the legs with the rudder
pedals.

Why not a VR gym where you can fly with real wings
(for air resistance) in simulated microgravity? |
