London, United Kingdom – The Royal Aeronautical Society’s Flight Simulation Group is preparing to host its annual Flight Simulation Conference on October 22-23, 2024, at No 4 Hamilton Place. This event will gather regulators, industry leaders, and specialists to discuss the future of flight simulation, driven by innovations like AI, digital twins, and automation.

• The conference will address the expanding scope of modelling and simulation (M&S) beyond traditional training, with a focus on emerging technologies such as AI, digital twins, and automation.
• Electric Air Vehicles (EAVs) and eVTOLs are pushing for new training approaches and raising regulatory, ethical, and environmental challenges.
• Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and AI are increasingly influencing both civil and military flight training methods, emphasizing the need for training environments that enhance situational awareness and decision-making.
• The UK Digital Twin Centre (UKDTC), launched in May 2024, is advancing the adoption of digital twin technology across the aerospace sector, aiming to reduce costs and improve competitiveness.
• The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is proposing a shift to an organisation-centric oversight system for Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs), focusing on continuous compliance and efficiency.

Statement’s

• “The aviation industry is at a turning point, where the integration of AI and digital twins in flight simulation is set to revolutionize training and operational efficiency.”

The Royal Aeronautical Society’s annual Flight Simulation Conference will be held in London, United Kingdom on the 22nd and 23rd of October, 2024.
