We are supporting the introduction of electric aircraft with the world's first commercially available virtual reality simulator. This simulator perfectly matches the aircraft performance and feel because it uses an actual full-size cabin simulator. The virtual reality goggles allow you to have a clear view in any direction including the ability to load topographic information for the area you are flying in.
This seems to be the way aviation is progressing. To be honest this is as close to real flying as I have ever seen, everything is identical including engine and cabin noise which has been recorded from actual flying conditions. It is worth having a look at to get an idea of the future of simulators
