Before taking to the skies, every F-35 pilot must train to fight, rehearse and win in a fully-virtual battlespace. The F-35 Training Simulator has revolutionized the way pilots train for challenging missions with the most advanced fighter jet available today. But what makes it so cool?
Here are six reasons the simulator has a coolness factor of 11:
1. Pilots experience unparalleled realism.
The F-35 Training Simulator gives pilots an exceptionally realistic experience, replicating the sights, sounds, and sensations of an actual flight with remarkable fidelity. With its 360-degree immersive environment, the simulator offers an accurate representation of the aircraft’s flight dynamics, cockpit, sensors and weapons systems. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the simulator delivers elite, mission-ready training that feels like you’re strapped into the real jet.
2. Three aircraft variants, no problem.
The F-35 Training Simulator's adaptable design and flexibility is the cornerstone of its success, enabling it to effectively train pilots across all three variants of the aircraft. With the ability to seamlessly reconfigure the simulator to accommodate the unique needs of each pilot, regardless of whether they fly the F-35A, F-35B, or F-35C, the simulator delivers next-level training like nothing else on Earth.
3. Over 3,000 pilots trained...and counting.
The first time a pilot flies in the single-seat F-35, they fly alone. Pilots need to penetrate sophisticated enemy air defense and find and disable threats at a moment’s notice. Our high-fidelity simulator has enabled 3,000 F-35 pilots from 12 nations to receive the training they need to fly safely and confidently to conduct their missions – first time, every time.
4. Provides a safe learning environment and saves money.
Continuous advances to F-35 training provides improved performance, availability, and latest technologies to bring cost-effective solutions to training bases. But what’s most important is the simulator enables students to replicate scenarios they can expect in live flight, creating a seamless and safe transition to the aircraft. Preparing thousands of pilots to complete their challenging missions and return home safely is our top priority.
5. It’s crucial to global security.
The role the F-35 Training Simulator plays in ensuring global security is just as critical as the aircraft itself. Without the ability to provide a realistic environment for training, pilots would not be able to safely prepare for the complexities of their missions – and ultimately lose. The simulator’s contribution to global security makes the technology not only impressive but vital to air dominance.
6. Manufactured in the “Simulation Capital of the World”.
The F-35 Training Simulator is manufactured at the Training, Logistics and Simulation site in Orlando, Florida. This site provides advanced training, including state-of the art simulations to prepare service members around the globe for various missions. With over 2,000 teammates in Orlando and 800+ of them dedicated to F-35 training, Florida is the home for training and simulation.
