Motion simulation apparatus

A motion simulation apparatus that includes:

• A motion platform;
• a carrier for carrying a user, the carrier being mounted on the motion platform;
• a drive arm, the drive arm configured to rotate about its longitudinal axis with respect to the motion platform and having a lower end that is pivotally mounted on a substrate to pivot relative to the substrate with two degrees of freedom of movement and an upper end that is pivotally connected to the motion platform to pivot with respect to the motion platform with two degrees of freedom of movement such that rotation of the drive arm can be imparted to the motion platform;
• and
• two guide arms, each guide arm having a lower end that is pivotally mounted on the substrate to pivot relative to the substrate with three degrees of freedom of movement and an upper end that is pivotally connected to the motion platform to pivot relative to the motion platform with three degrees of freedom of movement, the drive arm, the guide arms and the motion platform defining a dynamic frame that can pivot with respect to the substrate such that a resultant movement of the motion platform can be imparted to the carrier.
