Spiralling costs and ever increasing technological advances have given aircraft training technology new importance. As trainee pilots benefit from new simulation technology, airforce-technology.com examines new advances and judged just where the future may lie in flight tuition.
With technology incorporated aboard next generation military aircraft increasing to unprecedented levels, it has become almost imperative that pilots are well versed in the layout and workings of an aircraft before even venturing inside the cockpit. Coupled with the spiraling cost of individual aircraft, simulation technology capable of providing trainee pilots with an ample flight education has taken on a new importance.
Advancements in projection technology and visual systems have led to the development of ‘fully immersive’ training environments, whereas the use of actual components seen onboard next generation aircraft are providing trainee pilots with the kind of familiarity necessary for a seamless integration into their designated aircraft.
