Video: The Future of Aviation Simulation
This is a video about the latest cutting edge technology of Air Traffic Control Simulator providing the best simulation for aviation training purposes.
We simulated some emergency scenarios of aircraft engine fire, unstable approach, cross wind, snow, drone attack of airport, laser attack of airport at London Heathrow and Dubai International Airport. Air Traffic Controllers are prepared and trained in each of these scenarios to deal with many unexpected issues.
The simulator is driven by spacemouse in 3D environment with 6 axis to provide every angle of view. At the end of the demo, we had some AvGeek fun flying a bomber, Beluga XL and An-225 departing over the landscape of Dubai.
