LOFT DYNAMICS: THE FUTURE OF FLIGHT SIMULATION, IN CHILE FOR THE FIRST TIME
One of the most talked-about experiences was the arrival of the Loft Dynamics’ virtual reality flight simulator — making its Chile debut. Loft Dynamics simulators combine VR technology with a full-scale cockpit
replica and a six-degrees-of-freedom motion platform, faithfully reproducing control loading forces and supporting training in emergency procedures across environments anywhere in the world.
Access was by invitation only and reserved for selected pilots. Those who flew it were unanimous: the platform allows users to
simulate in-flight emergencies, change weather conditions, and fly in environments as varied as the Swiss Alps or New York City airspace — all with a fidelity that blurs the line between simulation and actual flight. For the helicopter pilot community in Chile and Latin America, its arrival at FIDAE did not go unnoticed.
