    European Air Services Train In The Most Advanced F-16 Pilot Simulator

    Vrgineers delivered European Air Services the game-changing mixed reality simulator, which is combined from the latest version of F-16 BLOCK 70 physical cockpit and the XTAL headset.

    European Air Services purchased the simulator as part of its initiative to keep its Air Force up to date with the latest technological advancements, operate a multi-role fighter to fulfill its missions, and support NATO membership.

    In partnership with:

    JOZEF DZURUS
    CEO
    EUROPEAN AIR SERVICES

    We decided to cooperate with Vrgineers to develop the most advanced simulator for the F-16, that combines a physical cockpit with mixed reality technology. We hope that this unique technology will be used as part of training programs for F-16 military pilots across European countries.

    Mixed reality simulator gives me a realistic training experience comparable to flying in a real plane. Using an F-16 simulator, I can rehearse tactical operations, which would otherwise be impossible to prepare for in the real world except for in a simulated environment. I was able to fully operate the cockpit with my hands and train in any scenario.
