Five Appearances at the Airshow Stage: U-Wing Simulation Showcases Its Excellence

U-Wing Simulation shares a profound connection with the China Airshow, having made its debut on the China Airshow stage in 2016. Since then, it has participated in five consecutive editions. With its strong R&D capabilities, U-Wing Simulation has developed flight simulation training devices that are sold worldwide. As the first Chinese company to independently develop and export flight training devices, U-Wing Simulation has continually achieved breakthroughs in both technology and market reach within the flight simulation training device sector, building a global brand image and an international marketing network.

Three Innovative Products Shine as Highlights of the Airshow

As an exhibitor, U-Wing Simulation showcased three flight simulation training devices at this year’s airshow:

1. eVTOL Flight Simulator with MR (Mixed Reality)

Making its debut at the airshow, the eVTOL flight simulator garnered significant attention, with professional attendees eager to try it out. Participants, wearing MR headsets, stepped into the simulator and were instantly immersed in a 360-degree panoramic eVTOL flight experience, offering incredibly realistic sensations of piloting. The device integrates the domestically developed Beijing ViSYS visual system, equipped with industry-leading MR headsets and a six-degrees-of-freedom motion platform, delivering a highly immersive and lifelike experience. The simulator is primarily designed for eVTOL manufacturers, serving purposes such as R&D testing, market promotion, and flight training. It provides eVTOL manufacturers with a comprehensive and competitive flight simulation training solution.

2. PA28 Flight Training Device Level 5

The device features a 1:1 replica of the PA28 cockpit, equipped with a self-developed G1000 avionics simulation system, along with authentic instruments, device panels, and control units. It accurately simulates various flight operations, delivering a realistic PA28 piloting experience. The simulator enables safe training for complex maneuvers such as stall recovery, steep turns, and low-speed flight. It complies with CCAR-60 Level 5, FAA Level 5, and EASA FNPT II certification requirements.

3. SR20 FPT (Flight Procedure Trainer)

The Cirrus SR20 FPT, designed for individual users, offers an exceptional personal flight training solution for SR20 trainees. It enables users to conduct procedural and instrument training for the SR20 aircraft from the comfort of their homes. This device helps both individuals and flight schools enhance training efficiency while reducing training costs effectively.

Significant Achievements and a Surge of Intent Orders

During this year’s airshow, U-Wing Simulation achieved remarkable results, securing intent orders worth tens of millions of RMB from multiple countries and regions worldwide. Among these, U-Wing Simulation signed an intent to purchase agreement with China Flying Dragon General Aviation Co., Ltd. for a King Air C90 Level D full-flight simulator. This collaboration marks a strong alliance built on the Henan Civil Aviation Development & Investment Group platform, combining strengths and complementing advantages to jointly promote high-quality development in China’s flight training industry.

Media Spotlight Elevates Brand Recognition

During the airshow, U-Wing Simulation became a focal point for media attention. Leading outlets such as CCTV, GRT Satellite Channel, and Zhuhai Rong Media reported on its exhibits and highly praised the company’s innovative achievements in the aviation simulation field. In particular, the eVTOL flight simulator with MR (Mixed Reality) garnered widespread attention and acclaim, drawing numerous professional attendees to experience it firsthand. Through the promotional efforts at this year’s airshow, U-Wing Simulation further enhanced its global brand recognition, securing more collaboration opportunities and gaining broader market acceptance.

Brilliant Showcase Injects New Vitality into the Industry

As the 15th China Airshow successfully concluded, U-Wing Simulation’s remarkable showcase also came to a perfect close. The company not only presented a comprehensive range of industry-leading flight simulation training devices and the latest technological achievements but also officially launched its eVTOL flight training devices solution. This initiative supports the safe, rapid, and sustainable development of the low-altitude economy while accelerating U-Wing Simulation’s emergence as a representative enterprise of new-quality productivity in the nation.
