“BETA Technologies Improves Aviation Training with Scalable Display”

BETA Tech­nolo­gies recent­ly announced it has improved its avi­a­tion train­ing with an advanced scal­able dis­play, reports a press release. As part of the company’s com­mit­ment to safe­ty, BETA has devel­oped cut­ting-edge train­ing sim­u­la­tors to ensure pilots receive the high­est lev­el of prepa­ra­tion. 

The release explains, “Most sim­u­la­tors with an extend­ed or dual cur­va­ture field-of-view use mul­ti­ple pro­jec­tors to cov­er the dis­play area. This increas­es the over­all res­o­lu­tion and immer­sion of the user by cov­er­ing their full field of view with eye-lim­it­ed pix­el den­si­ty.”

It con­tin­ues, “Align­ing these images can be dif­fi­cult and require spe­cialised knowl­edge, lim­it­ing the amount of time the sim­u­la­tor can be used. To ensure max­i­mum sys­tem avail­abil­i­ty and visu­al accu­ra­cy, BETA select­ed Scal­able Dis­play Tech­nolo­gies as its offi­cial part­ner for auto­mat­ic dis­play align­ment on its direct-pro­jec­tion-based sim­u­la­tors.”

Vin­cent Moeykens, Sim­u­la­tion Lead for BETA, com­ment­ed, “After eval­u­at­ing mul­ti­ple solu­tions over the past year, Scal­able has been our pri­ma­ry warp­ing tool. We chose this because it pro­vides a high­ly con­sis­tent cal­i­bra­tion process, that ensures our sim­u­la­tors main­tain accu­ra­cy and reli­a­bil­i­ty.”

He con­tin­ued, “The soft­ware is the most effi­cient we tri­alled and sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduces set­up time. Addi­tion­al­ly, it inte­grates seam­less­ly with our visu­al tools, includ­ing the pri­ma­ry image gen­er­a­tor, X‑Plane.”

For pilots train­ing on BETA’s all-elec­tric air­craft, high-fideli­ty sim­u­la­tion pro­vides an invalu­able oppor­tu­ni­ty to devel­op mus­cle mem­o­ry, refine deci­sion-mak­ing skills and expe­ri­ence real­is­tic flight con­di­tions in a con­trolled envi­ron­ment.

Moeykens remarked, “Com­mit­ment to safe and effec­tive pilot train­ing is cen­tral to our mis­sion. These sim­u­la­tors have been inte­gral to the air­craft devel­op­ment process, allow­ing us to refine cock­pit lay­outs, avion­ics and con­trol feel before final­is­ing air­craft designs.”

He con­tin­ued, “Since our air­craft are still under­go­ing cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and not yet in the cus­tomer’s hands, they serve as vital engi­neer­ing tools, pro­vid­ing our test pilots with real­is­tic envi­ron­ments to eval­u­ate design deci­sions ear­ly in the devel­op­ment cycle.”

By inte­grat­ing Scalable’s soft­ware, BETA can cre­ate train­ing envi­ron­ments that close­ly mir­ror real-world con­di­tions, rein­forc­ing pilot readi­ness and oper­a­tional con­fi­dence.

Moeykens added, “Ulti­mate­ly, our part­ner­ship with Scal­able is about deliv­er­ing reli­a­bil­i­ty, effi­cien­cy and high-qual­i­ty train­ing expe­ri­ences. Their exper­tise in image cal­i­bra­tion sup­ports our mis­sion to cre­ate a safe and advanced train­ing ecosys­tem for the next gen­er­a­tion of elec­tric avi­a­tion.”
