Simulates spaceflight launch and re-entry
The ATFS-400 offers a versatile spaceflight training and research environment for nominal and off-nominal trajectories for humans, payloads, and life support systems under G forces.
Realistic acceleration, vibration, trajectory, and visuals
The ATFS-400 has the ability to simulate any phase of air or spaceflight with acceleration, vibration, fully controllable axes with continuous 360° pitch and roll, and real-world displays and controls.
Interchangeable, linkable cockpits
The ATFS-400's interchangeable, linkable cockpits modules provide for unprecedented flexibility by simulating different spacecrafts that can be swapped out depending on your training and research needs.
Ultimate Versatility
Tactical Flight
Pilots experience the actual physical stresses of flight in the entire flight envelope providing confidence and a point of reference when adverse flight conditions are experienced in a tactical environment.
Spaceflight
The ATFS-400 accurately replicates the unique stresses of a spaceflight environment for training and testing orbital nominal and off nominal trajectories for humans and payloads.
Testing and Research
A highly controllable environment for High-G acceleration (high-G onset, multi-axes, sustained G) and motion and spatial disorientation (multi-Axes, sustained G) testing and research
