338 Flying the Loft Dynamics Full Motion, Virtual Reality, Airbus H125 Helicopter Simulator + GA News
Manage episode 428427134 series 2789138
In this episode, Max explores Loft Dynamics, a Swiss company transforming helicopter training with cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) simulators. During his visit to their Santa Monica demo center, Max flies the Airbus H125 training device, the only VR simulator approved by EASA.
Loft Dynamics offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional full-motion simulators, which are bulky and expensive, ranging from $6 to $20 million. Their compact VR simulators, including the H125, H145, and Robinson R22, cost around $1 million and utilize an open design with electric motor-driven seats. The technology includes Varjo VR headsets, Valve Index Base Station systems, and Lenovo servers running IPACS software, ensuring high accuracy and immersive experiences.
Tedd Rossi from Loft Dynamics provides insights into the simulator’s features, including an instructor console that manages aircraft settings, environmental controls, and malfunction simulations. The console tracks eye movements and body positioning, offering valuable training feedback.
A standout feature is the ability to perform external sling load operations, certified by EASA, highlighting the simulators' realism and training value. Max's hands-on experience reveals the potential industry impact, emphasizing the accessibility and effectiveness of Loft Dynamics' VR solutions for smaller operators and training centers.
