Superior Aerodynamic Modeling
Capability

One of the most important and dynamic benefits of MOTUS technology is the flexibility to adjust flight models easily, to better meet training requirements. Each MOTUS simulation device comes complete with the powerful Laminar Research PlaneMaker aerodynamic design utility, a Virtual Wind Tunnel that offers Fidelity and its customers total control of flight dynamics for each aircraft.

The PlaneMaker aerodynamic design software is so realistic that Imperial College London and West Virginia University have both purchased MOTUS simulation devices primarily as aerodynamic research tools.

With PlaneMaker, users can modify the flight model to meet end-user or regulatory standards. Consider for a moment the options if a flight model in an installed simulation device requires a small modification in climb performance, stall speed, or stability. Other providers could offer only an expensive upgrade after an extended delay. With MOTUS, users can easily modify flight model aerodynamic characteristics as necessary to meet their training requirements. Only MOTUS provides this added value.
