THE WORLD’S FIRST MIXED REALITY FULL-MOTION FLIGHT SIMULATOR WILL BE AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATIONS.

February 2020: After a very successful joint participation at HAI HELI EXPO 2020 in Anaheim, California, BRUNNER Elektronik and FlightSafety decided to strengthen their partnership and efforts of making NOVASIM MR a new driving force in low-cost, yet highly efficient professional flight training solutions.

NOVASIM MR integrates the innovative Flight Safety Mixed Reality Technology and VITAL 1150 Visual System with BRUNNER’s  advanced  motion compensation algorithms and highly advanced and latency-free motion cueing algorithms into an unmatched and innovative Helicopter Training Platform, offering an incredible immersion and training effect. The modular NOVASIM VR/MR platform can be easily configured for different Aircraft and Types and Training Applications, enabling easy integration of various instruments, flight controls and interactive panels and is ideally prepared for using the BRUNNER drop-in control loading systems.

The VERTICAL Magazine, one the most-popular Helicopter magazines, has just recently published a very positive and promising summary about the new partnership product NOVASIM MR. Let us provide you with some highlights:

“Brunner & FlightSafety bring NOVASIM mixed-reality training system to flight training market

The simulator, called the NOVASIM MR, provides a realistic training experience where students are able to interact in the cockpit, see their hands, and feel the motion/direction in which they are flying – thanks to Brunner’s motion compensation algorithms and latency-free motion cueing algorithms.  …

While the full-motion aspect of the simulator creates a more immersive training experience, it also helps to combat motion sickness “because what you see is what your body expects to feel,” said Mario Ackermann, sales and marketing manager at Brunner. “And if you don’t give that to your body, you get sick very quickly.”

Being a smaller platform, the NOVASIM is a fraction of the cost of typical full flight simulators, Ackermann said. The simulator is also mobile; lifting the feet of the platform a few inches will put it on wheels, allowing it to be moved around easily, if needed.

The NOVASIM features Varjo Technologies’ XR-1 VR goggles, which Brunner said are some of the most sophisticated VR goggles currently available. “Varjo uses the slogan, ‘Human eye resolution,’ and you really can see all the dials and everything crystal clear,” said Ackermann. “And that’s really important if you do some emergency recovery procedures where you really have to focus on the dials – RPMs, altitude, etc.”

…

Unlike full flight simulators, the NOVASIM MR can be reconfigured from rotary-wing to fixed-wing by simply removing the collective and cyclic and adding fixed-wing controls. Different aircraft models can also be added to the visual system software; there are currently numerous helicopter and fixed-wing types available on the NOVASIM platform, including the Airbus H145, Boeing AH-64 Apache, and various Robinson models. But Ackermann said the capability is there to add any helicopter or fixed-wing model to the software.

Brunner and FlightSafety recently partnered with Schweizer RSG to develop the NOVASIM VR S300, configured for the S300 helicopter, which is a popular aircraft for flight training.

“The NOVASIM presents a new category of training simulators,” said Rudolf Iten of Iten Consulting GmbH. “You have the advantages and benefits of the moving platform, as well as affordability and the ability to move it. Any flight school can have it.”
