Loft Dynamics VR Multi-Pilot Simulator
Kawasaki Heavy Industries is deploying the first Loft Dynamics H145 Multi-Pilot VR helicopter simulator in the Asia-Pacific region.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which plays a key role in manufacturing, support, and training for the Airbus BK117/H145 helicopter series in the Asia-Pacific, will be the first to deploy Loft Dynamics’ new H145 Multi-Pilot virtual-reality (VR) simulator in the region. Loft Dynamics developed the simulator in collaboration with Airbus Helicopters.

The Loft VR simulators feature a six-degree-of-freedom full-motion platform, a virtual full-scale cockpit, and, with the trainee wearing a VR headset, 360-degree views of the helicopter interior, avionics, and the outside world. As a multi-pilot simulator, according to Loft Dynamics, the device enables pilots and crew to train together, and instructors and trainees can safely replicate flight scenarios and emergencies.
