Advanced Simulation

RECOGNISED by authorities throughout the world, flight simulators have in many cases completely replaced the real aircraft for training purposes. Modern techniques are such that a totally realistic and completely risk‐free environment can be created for learning the skills and procedures involved in the operation of expensive aircraft. The leading European manufacturer of these devices and their associated visual systems is Rediffusion Simulation and recent advances of this company have included a distribution computing system and the first flight simualtor instructor facility to combine touch screen technology with microprocessor control. Greatly improved computer image generation combined with a range of visual display systems has ensured extensive applications in both the civil and military fields.
