Training Aircraft Manufacturer Bye Aerospace Advances eFlyer 2 Prototype Meeting Partners at NBAA 2024

Las Vegas, USA – Rod Zastrow, CEO and President of Bye Aerospace, highlighted his experience at the 2024 NBAA Convention alongside CFO Jim Dunn, focusing on advancing collaborations for the company’s all-electric aircraft development.

Zastrow engaged with system partners such as Safran, supplying the aircraft’s electric motor, and Garmin, providing avionics solutions, as Bye Aerospace prepares for critical system integration in 2025. According to Zastrow, the eFlyer 2 prototype, Serial Number 001, is currently being fabricated at Bye Aerospace’s facilities in Englewood (Denver). This aircraft will be the company’s first full-scale model to undergo testing and integration, with the goal of establishing a new standard for electric flight training. The eFlyer series aims to revolutionize aviation training with zero-emission operations, lower noise levels, and reduced operating costs, offering significant benefits to flight schools and aviation communities.

Statement:

“Another great experience attending this year’s National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention with our eFlyer Team’s CFO, Jim Dunn. Enjoyed speaking with some of our functional system partners such as Safran (electric motor) and Garmin (avionics), and preparing for system integration in 2025 for our eFlyer 2 Serial Number 001 full-scale prototype now being fabricated at our facilities in Englewood (Denver), CO,” said Zastrow.

5 FTDs Successfully Delivered by Flight Simulator Manufacturer U-Wing Simulation and Certified by the CAAC

China – U-Wing Simulation successfully delivered 5 flight training devices to the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (hereinafter referred to as “CAFCU”).

  • Among the 4 Cessna C172S FTDs, 2 are deployed at the Mianyang branch
  • With 1 each at the Xinjin branch and the Flight Technology College.
  • Additionally, 1 CirrusSR20 FTD has been deployed at the Luoyang branch.
  • All devices have passed the Level 5 certification by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) under CCAR-60-R1 and is now officially in operation.

The successful delivery of this project marks a significant recognition of U-Wing Simulation’s technical strength and product quality in the flight training device sector by the authoritative institutions of the Chinese civil aviation industry.

The delivered C172S FTDs and SR20 FTDs are independently developed and manufactured by U-Wing Simulation, utilizing advanced simulation technology with a 1:1 simulated cockpit. They perfectly replicate all flight and operational characteristics of different aircraft types and feature high fidelity, reliability, and low total life–cycle costs. Both devices utilize the ViSYS high-definition visual system, leveraging cutting-edge large-scale modeling technology to provide a realistic flight environment tailored to general aviation low-altitude visual flight rules. Furthermore, both are equipped with a closed-loop control loading system that enhances the realistic feedback during training, significantly increasing the immersion for trainees and providing excellent support for flight training.

These 5 devices will offer CAFCU students top-notch training conditions and flight experiences, injecting new energy into the flight training programs at various branches, and further enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the university’s flight training. In the future, U-Wing Simulation will continue to focus on technological innovation and collaborate with more industry-leading partners to provide users with globally competitive flight training devices and training solutions.

Air Force New Trainer Jet on Track for 2027 Operational Capability Amid Delays

USA – The U.S. Air Force’s next-generation training program for pilots, centered on the new Boeing-Saab T-7A Red Hawk, has achieved multiple development milestones despite a schedule running three years behind. The Air Force now targets initial operational capability by 2027, with several advancements in both the aircraft and its ground-based training systems expected to further optimize pilot training efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

  • Boeing and Saab recently delivered three T-7A aircraft to support the Air Force’s flight test program, slated for completion by late 2025.
  • The T-7A training ecosystem features an integrated ground-based training system (GBTS), designed by Boeing, and equipped with cutting-edge LVC (live-virtual-constructive) simulation technology.
  • This system connects training devices and aircraft in real-time, enabling a high-fidelity, “as-real-as-it-gets” training experience through 8K high-resolution projectors, embedded training, and modular open architecture.
  • Boeing’s suite of devices, developed with Advanced Simulation Technology’s Voisus product, supports training from entry-level flight through advanced fighter maneuvers, helping pilots practice complex scenarios on the ground to reduce in-air training time and costs.
  • The Air Force plans to advance these systems further by incorporating augmented, virtual, and mixed reality training for future missions, with updates deployed across both training devices and aircraft through a centralized software update system.
  • Future upgrades for the T-7A training program will include a dedicated suite of maintenance training systems, with a contract expected in early 2025.

Statements:

  • “With the architecture we have, we can quickly field enhancements… future mission sets can be incorporated rapidly,” said Mike Foust, Boeing’s Director of T-7 Training and Product Support.
  • “You could have everybody airborne at the same time… [embedded training] gives the pilots the flexibility for training in the air, on the ground, or with a mix of both,” said Col. Robert Volesky, T-7 Division Chief at the Air Force.
  • “The T-38 fleet is getting costly to maintain… we want to give our Air Force pilots a safer aircraft to be trained in,” Volesky added.
