ITEC 2017: USAF aeromedical on motion
CAE has confirmed that the C-130 Aeromedical Evacuation Training System (AETS) for the US Air Force at Dobbins Air Reserve Base is now on-motion, fully operational and ready-for-training.
The company said that the addition of a six degrees-of-freedom motion platform for an AETS fuselage trainer is believed to be the first-of-its-kind in the world and will now provide US Air Force aeromedical evacuation personnel with a more realistic training environment.
