Claim 6:
7. A flight simulator comprising:
an aircraft cockpit;
a robotic arm providing 7 DOF, the robotic arm supported on a linear rail and configured to support a wraparound display at least partially surrounding the cockpit, the wraparound display comprising a spherical viewing surface that is moveable with the robotic arm;
a mechanical support structure connected to support the spherical viewing surface and configured to maintain spacing between the spherical viewing surface and viewpoints of pilots within the cockpit irrespective of movement and repositioning of the robotic arm, the mechanical support structure mounted to the robotic arm but not to the cockpit; and
a set of projectors that project images onto the spherical viewing surface,
wherein the wraparound display is supported by composite material.
