Our state-of-the-art dynamic flight simulator and human centrifuge in Linköping, Sweden, provides fast jet pilots from across the globe with training to withstand high G-forces. Such capabilities enable us to provide bespoke training programmes in preparation for future commercial spaceflights, including G-familiarisation and spaceflight simulation in our dynamic flight simulator. This is in addition to controlled exposure to simulated high altitude in our hypobaric chamber.
Our dedicated training academy also provides a wide range of off-the-shelf courses as well as both live and synthetic training expertise for defence sector clients, such as Inzpire.
