Project description
VR pilot lessons take flight
VR is gaining ground in flight training. Not only is it cheaper than flying a real aeroplane, but it’s also better for students; they learn faster and more efficiently. High-fidelity (Hi-Fi) flight models are the core of full-flight simulators. These models are designed to replicate the aerodynamics that rule how aircraft fly and how they react to flight control inputs and external physical conditions such as turbulence, wind and precipitation. These models represent only 5 % of the total cost of a full-flight simulator, which costs an estimated EUR 25 million. In this context, the EU-funded VR-FS project will integrate the Hi-Fi flight models with VR to eliminate the high costs related to hardware.
