Vertex Solutions’ Post

🎊 Coming out of #LoftFest2024, we're thrilled to more broadly announce our entry into the electric vehicle takeoff and landing (#eVTOL) market in partnership with Dufour Aerospace As the first and only VR simulator with major regulatory approval, we’re taking our proven technology with helicopters and developing our inaugural VR eVTOL simulator for Dufour’s new tilt-wing Aero3. Designed for emergency medical services, the Aero3 requires pilots to land in diverse environments and get patients to the nearest hospitals as quickly as possible—and do so in a new type of aircraft. Our VR sim will safely and efficiently prepare their pilots for the nuanced, high-stress, and challenging demands they’ll encounter. “Loft Dynamics’ VR approach is undoubtedly superior among extended reality training solutions and is critical as we develop the Aero3…It allows pilots to integrate new concepts quickly and effectively, including tilt-wing operation and fountain lift and suckdown ground effects at low to zero speeds. Most importantly, it enables our pilots to gain experience in a safe and hyper-realistic environment. This will generate invaluable data as we develop the aircraft.” - Thomas Pfammatter, CEO of Dufour Looking forward to this next chapter of revolutionizing helicopter training—and eVTOL training. We've only just begun!

VR eVTOL Flight Simulator in Development

Have you ever imagined stepping into a virtual cockpit where every button, every sound, and every turbulence feels real—without ever leaving the ground. This is the world of flight simulators, where cutting-edge technology is transforming how pilots prepare for the skies.   With the global market projected to soar to $18.2 billion by 2034, simulators are no longer just tools—they’re lifelines for aviation safety and cost efficiency. Picture a pilot mastering emergency scenarios or a UAV operator navigating complex missions, all through immersive and sustainable training systems.   From VR-powered solutions to energy-efficient simulators, the advancements are setting new benchmarks in aviation readiness. Curious to know how this innovation is shaping the future of flying? Dive in Here: https://lnkd.in/gfpRFWr5     #Aviation #FlightSimulator #Innovation #PilotTraining #VR

Most user-friendly Cockpit in History Boom Supersonic unveiled its full-scale Overture #flight deck & #simulator at this year's Farnborough International #Airshow, which combines state-of-the-art technologies with safety-enhancing features to give #pilots unprecedented situational awareness & ease of control. Overture features an all-new #flightdeck, incorporating extensive #pilot feedback, resulting in a #flying experience that is both innovative & instantly familiar. Incorporating the next-generation Honeywell Anthem #avionics suite, Boom’s all-new flight deck dramatically simplifies the number of controls previously found on #Concorde with the use of large touchscreen displays. Overture will eliminate the need for Concorde’s droop nose through an augmented reality vision system, which includes an advanced headworn device from Universal Avionics. Pilots can safely land using #autoland or augmented reality views provided on a headworn device & on the pilot’s primary flight display. Overture’s flight deck introduces force-feedback sidesticks that allow pilots to control the plane while physically feeling both #aircraft response & inputs made by the co-pilot or autopilot. Boom worked with BAE Systems to integrate Active Control Sidesticks into the Overture flight deck simulator displayed at the Farnborough International Airshow. It claims that Overture offers pilots unmatched situational awareness & ease of control. The advanced avionics interface provides continuity to Boom pilots from initial flight training in a simulator, through to physical test #flights. Designed around pilots, Overture’s next-generation flight deck is the result of years of learning in #aviation safety & extensive feedback from airline, business, & military pilots. In the simulator, #pilots were able to test out the features of the flight deck & perform virtual approaches into London’s Heathrow Airport. Along with the unveiling of Overture’s flight deck, Boom made announcements marking rapid progress on its Symphony engine, coming on the heels of accelerating momentum. In March, the company conducted the historic first flight of its XB-1 #supersonic demonstrator. #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav

#ICYMI: Can gaming simulators support eVTOL pilot training and AAM infrastructure development? Flight simulators, originally created for hobbyists, are stepping into the aviation spotlight to support eVTOL pilot training and infrastructure development. Platforms like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12 are now equipped with eVTOL aircraft models from Joby Aviation, Archer, and BETA TECHNOLOGIES, merging entertainment with real-world applications. Florida-based Vertiport Simulations is leveraging this shift for heliport and vertiport design. By integrating eVTOL infrastructure—like electric charging units from Beta Technologies—into virtual environments, the company helps stakeholders preview and refine vertiport layouts in real-time which in turn expedites changes and client approval. With X-Plane 12 already FAA-certified for some flight training, and the AAM sector needing scalable solutions to train pilots and standardize infrastructure, could gaming simulators provide the answer?
