• Design Validation with Simulation Cockpits
• Software Verification with desktop simulations
• System Verification with partially real System parts (H/W -in -the -loop: Helicopter -Zero, Test Rigs)
• Customer Support with Training Simulators or rigs for troubleshooting, maintenance training, or pilot training
• Flight analysis in support of flight safety
• The Test -System is a complete eco -system of "Test Procedure Management Tools", "Automatic Test Sequencers", "Real -Time Test Tools", "Test Report
• management tools", "Simulation Frameworks", "Simulation Models", "Hardware interface boards for the Avionics", etc...
• In Donauwörth there are approx. 30 deployed occurrences of such Test -Systems, plus many mobile occurrences as well as many deployed simulations.
• Further Test -Systems are installed in France, Australia, Spain, Sweden and Brazil. A close partnership with these entities is to be maintained, requiring
