Working in a Collaborative Factory of the Flight Simulators Branch of RISE

Problem addressed WrightBroS project is aimed to develop a prototype of NewTechnology flight simulator. The project has been inspired by collaboration of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Their collaboration become for us the symbol of fruitful collaboration betwen Academy and Industry, two metaphoric brothers. That is why we erected the “Collaborative Factory of the Flight Simulators Branch of RISE” and started the project giving it the acronym WrightBroS to commemorate Orville’s and Wilbur’s efforts. Research in WrightBroS is performed by teams from Silesian University of Technology (PL) - Coordinator - and two High Tech companies: LG Nexera (software development company from AT), and Virtual Reality Media (professional flight simulators manufacturer from SK). Coordinator provides to the WrightBroS project the equipment of exceptional in Europe Virtual Flight Laboratory at SUT. Importance for society Importance for society lies in increasing the effectiveness of pilots’ training, which influences the safety of aviation by using flight simulators equipped with inventions developed in the project. Second essential impact of the project on society is related to Marie Curie actions general goals. Particular attention is being paid to wide and efficient networking, dissemination and communication. WrightBroS project strengthens career perspectives of participating scientists and becomes the foundation for lasting collaborations in exploitation of results. The envisaged deployment by VRM of the NewTechnology products will increase competitiveness of European industry on the world market of professional flight simulators. Overall objectives Technological objectives of WrightBroS project were focused on: (1) Development of system for procedural knowledge acquisition and processing (2) Development of AR-based maintenance and service system (3) Development of NewTechnology flight simulator In addition, soft objectives of the project were implemented through rich programme of mutual staff training, networking, and organising events dedicated to respect cultural heritage of more than 100 years of aviation history, to commemorate Wright Brothers and their first flight.
