Flight training solutions provider Axis Flight Simulation has been tapped to supply a level-D Beechcraft King Air C90GTx simulator to the National Institute for Aerospace Research (INCAS) in Strejnicu, Romania. To develop the simulator, the Austrian company performed a comprehensive flight test campaign to capture aircraft flight data.
According to Axis, the Beechcraft King Air C90GTx full-flight simulator comes equipped with an XT6 visual system from RSi to ensure a highly immersive experience. It also features a Van Halteren Technologies motion system, further enhancing the realism of flight simulation.
The Axis simulator will help INCAS research performance indicators such as pilot response and the real-time handling of aircraft aerodynamics, with the goal of optimizing procedures and lowering operating costs. INCAS’ work contributes to European Union policymaking under the FlightPath 2050 vision and Horizon Europe program.
“Since our inception 75 years ago, INCAS has been advancing aerospace research initiatives in Romania,” said INCAS project manager Magdalena Ardelean. “We were looking for a device capable of recreating a variety of flight scenarios to the highest fidelity, including the mathematics that govern aircraft’s movement and its reaction to commands made by the pilot…we appreciate the [Axis] team’s dedication to delivering a tailored solution that meets our specific requirements.”
