Singapore Airshow: New sims from ST
ST Engineering has used the Singapore Airshow to unveil two new training devices.
The first is a new virtual reality pilot training simulation (VRPST) device. Although aimed at the commercial airline, two-crew cockpit environment, the trainer has clear applications for two-crew military aircraft such as transport, tanker and maritime patrol aircraft.
