Features & Applications

Key Features

• Low cost for simulators with comparable fidelity

• Small form factor and mobile

• Immersive and feature reach mixed virtual reality visual environment

• Tunable and exchangeable flight controls and control loaders

• Reconfigurable instrument displays

• Expandable system with physics-based electric propulsion models (GT SUITE), slung load models, turbulent airwake, and more

Target Applications

• eVTOL flight dynamics, flight control, and handling qualities

• Fault and malfunction test and evaluation

• Specialty operations: slung loads, fire fighting, ship-board/roof-top landing

• Ride comfort assessment

• Human-machine interface

• Pilot training (where supported by authorities)

System Components

Consists of FLIGHTLAB software, image generation, visual display, cockpit displays,

and a motion-platform with control loaders
