Electric Flight Moves a Step Closer as Vertical Aerospace and CAE Partner on Pilot Training
Vertical Aerospace, a global aerospace and technology company that is pioneering zero-emissions aviation and CAE, a market leader in flight simulation and training, announced that CAE will be the pilot training partner for Vertical's launch eVTOL aircraft, the VX4. CAE will design and develop a world-class training program and be the exclusive training device provider, tailoring the high-fidelity, next-generation flight simulation training device for the VX4 aircraft. The innovative pilot training program will leverage advanced technologies including Mixed Reality and Artificial Intelligence to enhance the learning experience and will help shift the training paradigm toward cost-effectiveness and scalability, while ensuring safety is paramount for Vertical and its operators. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is expected to drive unprecedented demand for qualified, professionally trained pilots for inner-city and regional electric flights. Additionally, because CAE currently provides training products and services to many of Vertical's industry-leading customer base, a smoother integration of new AAM pilot training programmes into their training portfolios is anticipated.
