Colleges and Universities

MOTUS 622Colleges and universities have long recognized the importance of simulation in flight training. The efficiencies, insurance savings, continuity of training, lower costs and overall training effectiveness of qualified training devices are well known in collegiate flight education.

University programs should consider the MOTUS simulation device because it is quite simply the most realistic simulated flight training environment. No other training device provides our unique combination of…

Laminar Research Aerodynamic Modeling

An important additional benefit for collegiate customers is our Laminar Research PlaneMaker aerodynamic engineering software. PlaneMaker is a “Virtual Wind Tunnel” that allows users to use the MOTUS flight simulator as a valuable educational and research tool. Users have almost unlimited control of aircraft design, including panel, fuselage, weight & balance, engine, airfoil, and appendage specifications for any new or existing flight model. MOTUS lets users climb into the cockpit after setting these specifications to observe first-hand the resulting changes in performance.

To make a small change in climb performance or stability in a competing simulator would require an expensive upgrade and lengthy delay. With MOTUS, users can make that change on the spot. PlaneMaker aerodynamic modeling capability is so realistic that Imperial College London, West Virginia University, and Syracuse University have purchased MOTUS simulators primarily as aerodynamic research tools!

Whether for a MOTUS 622i Reconfigurable simulation device or for a simulator that's type specific for a particular fixed-wing aircraft or rotorcraft, Fidelity manufactures a superior simulation solution.
