Business Wire
TRU Simulation announced today a new, cutting-edge Veris™
Virtual Reality (VR) Flight Simulator that provides helicopter and
fixed-wing model customers with a more cost-effective and
innovative solution to accomplish pilot training. Unveiled during
this week’s HAI Heli-Expo, the Veris simulator is a clean-sheet
design that combines industry-leading features of a full flight
simulator (FFS) with immersive virtual reality technology to
empower pilots to navigate the skies confidently. Equally exciting
is that Bell Training Academy (BTA) has been named the launch
customer and will be the first to use the Veris simulator for
training on the Bell 505 helicopter later this year.

TRU Simulation + Training Inc., an affiliate of Textron Aviation
Inc., is a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company that designs,
manufactures and delivers high-fidelity training devices and
full-motion simulators for civil and defense customers.
"TRU is dedicated to advancing simulation technology through
innovation. The Veris offers the benefits of a full flight
simulator experience in a compact, cost-effective and pioneering
design," said Jerry Messaris, vice president and general manager,
TRU Simulation. "Furthermore, due to its innovative clean-sheet
design and focus on efficiency, the manufacturing process for this
simulator is highly streamlined. We eagerly anticipate the
enthusiastic reception of this groundbreaking new category of
simulators by the BTA, rotorcraft and fixed-wing communities."
The Veris VR Flight Simulator is designed to meet both FAA
flight training device level 7 and EASA flight training device
level 3 standards. Certification activities with both FAA and EASA
are in process.
“The Bell Training Academy is honored to be the official launch
customer for the Veris VR Flight Simulator for the Bell 505 and
provide advanced training solutions to the aircraft’s growing
customer base,” said Chad Sparks, general manager, Bell Training
Academy. “Our world-renowned institution aims to deliver the most
comprehensive maintenance and flight training for Bell customers,
and we’re excited to collaborate with TRU Simulation, another
Textron business unit, to support Bell’s global network.”
The Veris simulator includes a fully electric six
degrees-of-freedom motion base to produce accurate flight cues and
vibrations. It also features TRU’s REALFeel control loading system,
providing the same realistic flight control sensations found in its
level D full flight simulators. Tactile cockpit panels allow the
pilot to interact with the aircraft switches and avionics just as
they would in the aircraft. Finally, a VR headset replaces the
traditional visual system, immersing the pilot into the flight
environment.
The Veris offers state-of-the-art simulator components,
including:
- TRU’s new Image Generator, powered by Unreal Engine®
- Electric six degrees-of-freedom motion base
- Custom modeled airports
- Varjo VR/MR headset
- Digital electric control loading system
- Newly designed Instructor Operating System
- Qualification test guide testing
- Remote instructor control unit
- Lesson plan and debrief systems (optional)
TRU Simulation is an industry leader in developing advanced,
high-fidelity full flight simulators and flight training devices.
TRU’s new Veris VR Flight Simulator will leverage the same flight
data, software baselines and advanced technologies used in its
top-end level D FFS to produce an identical great experience in a
virtual world, which brings a higher level of fidelity and
accessibility to simulator devices. The device is designed to
accommodate multiple rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft types.
HAI attendees can view the Veris at TRU’s booth #2944 during the
show. For more information, visit https://trusimulation.com.
