Barco reported that TRU Simulation + Training Inc., a Textron Inc. company, announced it has received EASA Level D certification for its new Bell Helicopter 429 full flight simulator (FFS). Developed specifically for Bell Helicopter, TRU’s latest FFS includes 11 Barco F35 projectors, integrated by RSI Visual Systems and is installed in Valencia, Spain for customers in EMEA.
Features include a real time 3D ocean capability and active coast line specifically developed for this simulator. Ten projectors generate a 240º x 80º field of view, with the eleventh providing a dedicated chin window.
RSI’s Ralph Baker, European Sales Manager: “Barco’s F35 projectors are a perfect choice for this installation, which requires high uptime, reliability and proven performance. The F35 WQXGA offers double the amount of megapixels compared to standard WUXGA models and the color performance is fantastic – two aspects that greatly add to the unrivalled realism that we want our visual systems to deliver.”
