SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental
Tectonics Corporation (Amex: ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") has begun final
assembly of its GYROLAB GL-4000 Advanced Spatial Disorientation Trainer for
a Japanese customer. This state-of-the-art training system will be ready
for delivery by the end of the year.
The GL-4000 is designed to train pilots to cope with in-flight Spatial
Disorientation (SD). The system features an advanced medical monitoring and
data acquisition system to support full clinical and operational research
into SD, loss of situational awareness and motion sickness for aircrews,
space crews and space travelers. The GL-4000 is the second GYROLAB trainer
to be delivered to Japan; the first, a GYROLAB GL-2000 has trained aircrew
for over 15 years and remains in service today.
The GL-4000 creates a simulated flight environment by employing a
4-degree-of-freedom (4DoF) motion system that provides 360-degree motion in
pitch, roll and yaw plus centrifugal acceleration to replicate the motion
and G cues that the pilot experiences in flight. The real world visuals are
displayed on a high-resolution 120 degrees by 70 degrees projected dome
display to maximize training realism and skills transfer from the GL-4000
to the aircraft.
A full-feature operator console and Interactive Profile Editor gives
the customer the ability to modify and customize the training profiles
provided to match current needs or to create new training profiles to meet
emerging training needs.
"We have put significant state-of-the-art technology into this device,"
said William F. Mitchell, President and Chairman of ETC, "including
advanced visuals and motion control. We are proud that ETC is once again
setting the standard for the flight simulation industry, and we are proud
to be a repeat supplier for Japan."
ETC is hosting a booth at the Farnborough Airshow from July 17-23 in
Hall 2, Booth B35.
ETC designs, develops, installs and maintains aircrew training systems,
public entertainment systems, process simulation systems (sterilization and
environmental), clinical hyperbaric systems, environmental testing and
simulation systems, and related products for domestic and international
customers.
