Flight Simulator of Light and Ultra-Light Aircraft is a multipurpose flight simulator, which was developed for demonstration and research purposes. The simulator is currently running at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

The simulator is equipped with a 6DOF hydraulic motion platform, which significantly increase the feeling of flight.

A simple but very impressive collimation display is used in the simulator. The main principle is the use of Fresnel lens, which is mounted in front of a large LCD screen.
