BAe selects E&S for Turkish Airlines visual system.HORSHAM, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 1996--Evans & Sutherland (E&S) has been selected by British Aerospace British Aerospace (BAe) was a UK aircraft and defence systems manufacturer, now part of BAE Systems. History The company was formed as a statutory corporation on April 29, 1977 as a result the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act. Regional Aircraft to provide the visual system for the Avro RJ simulator to be supplied to Turkish Airlines. The contract follows BAe's decision earlier this year to award E&S the system contract for the Avro RJ simulator supplied to Sabena Airlines. The contract is the first repeat order E&S has received from a customer since it entered the visual systems market two years ago, confirming customer confidence in E&S's systems capability. The award from BAe reflects the growing trend toward aircraft manufacturers awarding contracts for training systems, as sales of new aircraft are increasingly made with training included in the total package. Last year Airbus Industrie chose E&S to supply visual systems for A320 and A330/340 full flight simulators Full Flight Simulator (FFS) is a term used by National (civil) Aviation Authorities (NAA) for a high technical level of flight simulator. Such authorities include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Europe. . E&S will integrate and install the Avro RJ visual system on a Reflectone manufactured full flight simulator to be located in Istanbul, Turkey, during the third quarter of 1997. The high performance visual system is based on the powerful combination of E&S's ESIG-3350GT image generator coupled to its new digital raster/calligraphic projector, which delivers higher resolution images and more stable performance. The contract is the latest in a succession of visual system awards for E&S, which has increased its share of the available visual systems market to 65% since it began competing as a complete visual systems supplier in 1994. E&S is the major dedicated visual systems supplier in the commercial flight simulator flight simulator, device providing a controlled environment in which a flight trainee can experience conditions approximating those of actual flight. A simulator generally consists of an enclosure housing a working replica of the interior of the cockpit of an sector and the only independent to gain FAA Level D approval. Its visual systems support the full range of commercial aircraft and are compatible with all major flight simulator manufacturers.
