Companies Will Examine Long-Term Training Systems And Services For Aeroscraft Fleet

Aeroscraft Corporation, the innovator of a new variable-­-buoyancy cargo airship known as the Aeroscraft, has signed a memorandum of understanding with flight simulator company CAE to explore potential business relationships leading to the development and delivery of simulation based training for Aeroscraft's new aircraft.

The two companies will now work closely to determine pilot, maintenance technician and loadmaster training program requirements, and explore the potential development and exclusive use of CAE simulators and global training facilities for providing the required instruction and evaluation of aircrews operating the fleet of new rigid-­-hulled cargo aircraft.

This potential partnership with CAE would allow Aeroscraft to seamlessly develop the training program concept of operations (CONOPS) for Aeroscraft military and commercial customers, and leverage simulation expertise and global training infrastructure to support its planned fleet of globally-­-distributed aircraft beginning deployment in FY 2016.

"By doing what they do so well, comprehensively and globally, CAE will strategically aid the Aeroscraft Corporation by freeing our focus and organizational resources for what we do best, which is accelerating fleet development for a new cargo airship aimed at achieving Federal Aviation Administration type certification in FY2016," said Igor Pasternak, CEO of Aeros.
