L-3 Link’s CH-47F flight trainer will help the aircrew to develop their skills in individual or networked training exercises by simulating on-flight conditions.
The trainer integrates six degrees-of-freedom electric motion system with a secondary simulator for aircraft vibrations. Aircrew can also view computer-generated imagery through a wide field-of-view.
The cockpit software will simulate the CH-47F’s engine, electrical, hydraulic, navigation and communication systems with weapons, sensors and aircraft survivability equipment.
