The Federal Aviation Administration has started experiments with two VR simulators simulating flights on Airbus H125 and Robinson R22 helicopters. These simulators were developed by the Swiss company Loft Dynamics.
Virtual reality technology is primarily used to study various dangerous situations that can lead to accidents such as loss of control, poor vision or bird strikes.
The simulators will allow security experts to virtually test the aircraft and analyze their response to various scenarios.
This is the first time the FAA has introduced VR simulators for flight safety research. The partnership with Loft Dynamics will help increase aviation efficiency, expand capabilities and ensure environmental sustainability.
The simulators’ compact size and realistic reproduction of tactile sensations make them a suitable tool for pilot training.
