VHT developed new and improved electric drive systems for larger flight simulation solutions
Flight simulators are essential when it comes to training and preparing pilots for the situations and gravitational forces that they will experience in a real plane. Aviation Academy Austria, or AAA, already owned older versions of VHT flight simulation systems. When AAA wanted even newer, more capable technology, the team asked VHT once again to provide the best possible solution.
Electric instead of hydraulic
Developing a completely new system was challenging. VHT was developing this new electric system instead of the traditional hydraulic motion simulators. Through innovative engineering VHT was able to deliver this new system which meets the level D requirements as required. The technology consists of six actuators, all powered only by electric motors. For payloads as heavy as 14 tonnes, this was a real achievement.
Easier to install
It’s all about the accurate recreation of the entire flying experience, and therefore about putting the pilots through certain forces and accelerations while being as accurate as possible. VHT has managed to achieve all of this with the eMotion-14000. It’s a simpler facility, easier to install, and cheaper. The initial costs and the total cost of ownership are both lower than hydraulic equivalents.
