Vertex Solutions And Archer Aviation Complete Cutting-Edge Mixed Reality Flight Simulator For eVTOL Pilot Training

Niceville, Florida, USA – Vertex Solutions, a renowned developer of cutting-edge training solutions, and Archer Aviation Inc. (“Archer”) announced the completion of a mixed reality flight training device (MR FTD) for Archer’s Midnight eVTOL aircraft. Both companies worked together to develop this innovative new flight simulator in support of Archer’s relationship with the Department of Defense under its contracts with the U.S. Air Force’s AFWERX program. Archer’s Midnight MR FTD simulator will be on display in the Vertex Solutions booth at this year’s I/ITSEC trade show in Orlando, FL on Dec. 2-6.

The companies will now focus on bringing the Midnight MR FTD to an unprecedented level of excellence, targeting an eVTOL equivalent of FAA Level 7 FTD certification—believed to be an industry first in mixed reality flight training.

“Flight simulators and mixed reality devices will play a critical role in the training of our pilots,” said Archer COO of Urban Air Mobility, Tom Anderson. “Partnering with Vertex Solutions allows us to leverage their expertise in mixed reality training to ensure that our pilots are exceptionally prepared to operate Midnight safely and efficiently.”

“Collaborating with Archer on what is poised to become the inaugural FAA-qualified mixed reality eVTOL aircraft flight training device is extremely exciting for us,” expressed Dennis Wikoff, President and COO of Vertex Solutions. “This has the potential to be a game changer for the flight training community.”

The Midnight MR FTD integrates Midnight’s hardware and flight model, RYAN AEROSPACE’s custom simulator platform, Varjo’s XR-4 headsets, and Aechelon Technology’s Nucleus image generator.

This effort leverages Vertex Solutions’ extensive experience as a systems integrator for current Defense Innovation Unit sponsored mixed reality programs such as the USAF’s Multi-Place Mixed Reality rotary-wing simulator and the Virtual Training for the Air Dominance program. Archer’s Midnight MR FTD brings a world-class mixed reality flight simulator to the commercial eVTOL aircraft industry.
