Vertex Solutions, Varjo, and Aechelon Technology Join Forces with FAA to Redefine Virtual Reality Standards for Flight Simulation

Niceville, Florida, USA – Vertex Solutions, a Woman-Owned Small Business recognized for its excellence in systems integration and advanced learning technology, is thrilled to announce they have been selected by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to lead an exciting new research initiative on VR flight simulation standards, alongside esteemed partners Varjo and Aechelon. Through the FAA’s Immersive Flight Simulation CRADA RFI (692M15-IFS-RFI-CRADA), this partnership unites Vertex’s extensive experience in extended reality (XR) training, Varjo’s industry-leading XR headsets, and Aechelon’s advanced visual simulation systems to explore the transformative impact of XR in pilot training. Vertex Solutions will also incorporate a mixed reality (MR) approach to advance the study with the best technology available.

With this landmark collaboration, Vertex, Varjo, and Aechelon will combine their expertise to assist the agency in enhancing the FAA’s CSF S-76 simulator for XR visualization. This setup will allow the FAA to conduct rigorous experiments on XR head-mounted display (HMD) specifications, including latency, resolution, and field of view. These trials will assess how XR variables affect pilot performance and workload, providing critical insights for establishing new XR standards in aviation training.

“Partnering with Varjo and Aechelon enables us to bring the very best in VR technology to this FAA project,” said Dennis Wikoff, President & COO at Vertex Solutions. “Together, we aim to help the FAA set new benchmarks that could redefine training methods and support the integration of VR into official flight simulator standards. We’re honored to collaborate on this project and shape the future of immersive flight training.”

The core objective of this collaborative agreement is to identify the minimum XR system specifications required for effective use in pilot training. Vertex Solutions will work alongside the FAA to enhance the S-76 simulator with XR functionality, allowing the FAA to conduct in-depth research scenarios using the new setup. FAA pilots will run through these scenarios, which will involve varying key XR parameters such as field of view and latency to determine their impact on pilot performance.

The final output of this collaboration will include a comprehensive report on the findings, detailing how specific XR HMD metrics influence pilot workload and training efficacy. This report will be shared with FAA sponsors to guide decisions on potential updates to federal flight simulator regulations.

Training Aircraft Manufacturer Signs Multiple Aircraft Sales During Air Expo Abu Dhabi 2024

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – Diamond Aircraft’s last exhibition of the year was also their first time exhibiting at Air Expo Abu Dhabi, which took place over three days from 19-21 November in the UAE capital.

The UAE, and the Middle East region as a whole, is an area of rapid expansion for Diamond Aircraft, with a series of new aircraft sales in recent months.

At Air Expo Abu Dhabi, Diamond Aircraft was delighted to celebrate the delivery of the first DA50 RG aircraft to a UAE customer, Abdulla Al-Zaabi – who also happens to be the founder-owner of Project Aviation, a new Abu Dhabi-based flight school. Project Aviation has also just signed a contract for the purchase of two DA40 and one DA42 aircraft.

They also celebrated the delivery of the first DA62 into Kuwait – more to come on that soon.

Apart from the new aircraft sales, the event was a fantastic chance to catch up with established partners, as well as to raise the profile of the Diamond brand and discuss their product range with private and professional pilots meeting us for the first time.

A definite highlight of the trip was a flight in the new DA50, kindly arranged by Al-Zaabi, taking off from an airfield about an hour’s drive into the desert and flying by the beautiful Abu Dhabi coastline.

Diamond Aircraft looks forward to returning to the UAE in 2025!
