Keeping flight simulators up-to-date is an ongoing challenge that requires diligent effort. In our latest blog post, we revisit this critical topic, drawing from our extensive experience and the insights shared nearly ten years ago at the Royal Aeronautical Society's 2014 conference on "Keeping Flight Simulators Current & Capable." From aircraft systems databases and ground station data to visual models and airworthiness directives, numerous aspects demand regular updates to maintain realism and compliance. Our blog categorizes these elements, highlights the importance of robust processes, and offers practical advice on managing updates effectively through active engagement with manufacturers and robust monitoring systems. https://lnkd.in/gEQkDYRS #FlightSimulation #AviationTraining #PilotTraining #SimOps

“'Now that we’ve done this risk-reduction flight, we are accelerating that learning curve and giving the Department of Defense what they’ve desperately asked for, which is a high-cadence hypersonic test capability,' Stratolaunch CEO and President Zachary Krevor says. 'This flight demonstrates that it doesn’t always have to be government-led. It can be a partnership with industry, which is a win for everyone.' 'So far, we are finding out from the data that we have more capability than we initially estimated,' Krevor says. 'We’re happy overall with the accuracy of our predictions, but also we came at it appropriately with a slightly conservative position. It’s now clear that we are going to be able to push our vehicle to the upper ends of the capability that we’ve advertised—and faster than we initially thought.' 'Design altitude for Roc is typical airline altitude, even a little bit higher, so we’re exploring what is the right capability for us,' Krevor explains. However, he stresses that the original performance targets already are within reach. 'Our goal is not to maximize performance, but to deliver value to the customer,' he says. 'Based on the TA-1 results, we don’t need Roc to go to the top in terms of maximum performance to enable Talon to maximize its performance.' Meanwhile, work on TA-2 is well advanced. The vehicle has been towed outside the company’s Mojave Air and Space Port facility for initial 'weight-on-wheels' testing. 'We’re incorporating some of the early lessons learned from TA-1 into the vehicle,' Krevor says, referring to the propellant management improvements. 'Folks should expect to see TA-2 back outside for an integrated test period sometime this summer.'” #Stratolaunch #letsroc #aerospaceanddefense

1️⃣Ever heard of VOR? Very High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range, a game-changer in aviation navigation! 🛫 It projects magnetic "spokes" in all directions, helping pilots find their way.   2️⃣ The VOR receiver onboard turns signals into your magnetic bearing to/from the station. Think of it as your in-air compass, guiding the way through the skies! 🧭✨  3️⃣ But how do you interpret the signals? When you select a course, envision a line from the VOR station. If left of course, the CDI needle points right, and vice versa. 📡🔍  4️⃣ 🚀 Tips on VOR usage! Positively identify the station, stay in line-of-sight, and remember flying TO a station means TO indication on the selected course. 👨✈️ #FlightSchool #SkyGuidance #AviationTech #VOR #FlightTech #PilotLife #PilotTips #Navigation #avelflightschool

Aviotron Aerospace When we were #kids, we loved remote control #planes and #helicopters and dreamed of #flying them ourselves. Some of us tried, but we often ended up crash landing because flying a remote control plane or helicopter is much harder than driving a remote control car. That’s where #AeroBay comes in. At AeroBay, you start by doing flight simulations. These are like practice runs that let you learn how to fly without worrying about crashing. These simulations provide a software based safe and controlled environment where you can learn and refine your piloting techniques. Once you’ve practised and feel confident, you’ll move on to flying real planes. With the skills you’ve learned from the #simulations, you’ll be able to take off, fly, and land your own plane smoothly. AeroBay turns your #dreams into #reality by ensuring you are well-prepared to master flying. #experientiallearning #steameducation #technology #creativity #productdesign #designthinking #towardsbrighterfuture

The Next Frontier of Aerospace REDEFINED In pursuit of an efficient fixed wing aircraft capable of VTOL, a redefinition is required, a new type of air vehicle is envisioned. A fixed wing electric vertical and takeoff (eVTOL) aircraft is idealized as the concept aircraft. It is the most efficient eVTOL, an airplane (not an airtaxi, not a flying car) enabling futuristic flying characteristics using current technology. Several innovative ideas, techniques and methods applied systematically and strategically characterize the concept as the most advanced, unique and outside the realm of present classification, a new frontier of the aerospace industry.

The idea behind SPRINT is to develop the technologies needed to create a new class of aircraft that combine VTOL capabilities with high speeds. While it's true that such aircraft have been around for over half a century – the Harrier and the F-35 Lightning II, for example – these fighter planes aren't suited for commando operations or similar missions that require high speed, high agility, plus independence from conventional runways. One of four companies chosen by DARPA to create a concept prototype, as its preliminary design phase Aurora has opted for a scalable blended wing design that incorporates three lifting fans inside of a composite fuselage. Though the latest version has an uncrewed cockpit, later, larger ones designed to carry four or more lift fans could have more traditional crewed cockpits.
