Abstract
The external light environment has high impact on pilot comfort and aircraft control safety, which can affect the design of the cockpit light environment. An advanced design method for civil aircraft skylight environment simulation system is introduced to solve the issue of the lack of ground experimental conditions for complex dynamic light environments for civil aircraft. The technical requirement and function architecture of the skylight environment simulation system are analyzed. The function and technique indicators of the system are emphasized, including basic sky light environment simulation system, sun and moon simulation system, and specific extreme light environment simulation system. The operational support system of the skylight environment simulation system is briefly introduced. The uniformity and stability of the luminance of this skylight environment simulation system are verified through experiment. The results show that the proposed design method can provide more diverse simulation scenarios, and the system has high integration and intelligence. It can be used for various types of model verification and technical research such as overall light environment assessment of the cockpit or automatic dimming assessment of the display and other optical research
