The SIMAF facility consists of three observation rooms, and a three-projector system with Barco’s high-performance FL32 series models. The system can create images covering 150 degrees x 45 degrees on a cylindrical screen.

It can also generate stable, high-contrast images with deeply saturated colors, and customisable brightness and contrast levels.

It also features an intelligent active cooling system, ensuring extended reliability, and offering closer control of all key projector components.

The training centres are set to open in Brazil next year, with the first preliminary training to begin in December. The second simulator is due to open in early 2016.
