the  challenge...

new  stuff...

RYAN AEROSPACE engineered the F-16 Mixed Reality Flight Training Device by extending the same reconfigurable architecture it had already proven on Fighter Bomber Fundamentals, the modular hardware platform built to be reconfigured for new airframes rather than rebuilt from scratch. Where FBF had taken that architecture from virtual reality to mixed reality on the T-38C, this program pushed it a step further: reconfiguring it to match the cockpit of an active, operational fighter.


The device combined RYAN AEROSPACE's precision-engineered physical hardware with Metrea's NOR simulation and training software platform, giving instructors and students a mixed reality F-16 cockpit built to the same rigour as the aircraft it represents. Publicly showcased alongside RYAN AEROSPACE's other mixed reality devices as the F-16 MR enhanced Immersive Training Device, it stood as tangible proof that RYAN AEROSPACE's engineering could scale from a dedicated trainer jet to a frontline fighter without losing the fidelity a pilot needs to trust their training.

LIFEFLIGHT  rear crew trainer  ...

RYAN AEROSPACE can develop rear crew trainers aimed at assisting EMS providers with Search and Rescue and Fire Fighting applications.


Pictured here is our AW-139 Rear Crew Trainer using Titan software and training system in service with the LifeFlight Training Academy in Brisbane, Australia. We built the rear cabin structure, winch hoist and winch hoist pendant. Software training system was developed by Virtual Simulation Systems.
