As part of the Vertex Solutions team, Ryan Aerospace is delivering flight training simulators to support the USAF's Pilot Training Transformation programme.
Ryan Aerospace has been selected by prime contractor Vertex Solutions to supply nearly 300 fixed- and rotary-wing training simulators to the USAF as part of the Pilot Training Transformation (PTT) programme.
Vertex was awarded an Other Transaction Authority contract in July 2020 to lead PTT integration that is being managed by the USAF Air Education and Training Command, 19th Air Force and the US DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit.
Well known for its low-cost flight training devices, Ryan Aerospace developed a modular and reconfigurable flight training simulator that can be modified to represent a number of different aircraft.
