Lufthansa, Qantas Purchase E&S Sim Visual Systems

EP-1000CT's slated for A310 sim in Berlin, CAE A380 sim in Australia

Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp. has announced that Lufthansa Flight Training (LFT) has purchased an EP-1000CT visual system for the upgrade of its A310 full flight simulator in Berlin.This installation marks the 13th EP system purchased by LFT since the product's introduction last year. The new system includes an EP-1000CT image generator and three ESCP-2000 projectors, and will replace an existing SPX-550HT image generator and projectors. Installation and certification are scheduled to be completed during Q1 of 2005.

E&S has also been awarded a subcontract by CAE Inc. of Montreal to provide its EP(TM)-1000CT/ESCP(R)-2000 visual system for the A380 full-flight simulator being manufactured by CAE for Australia's Qantas Airways.

Five full flight simulators at LFT's Berlin training center are being equipped with EP-1000CT systems. Two simulators, the B737-300 and A320, have already received Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) Level D certification. LFT has also purchased EP-1000CT systems to upgrade its A340 and B737-800 simulators.

"LFT leads the way in providing outstanding training value," said E&S Commercial Simulation Managing Director David Rushton. "We look forward to continuing to support their commitment to offering the highest quality training with EP-1000CT."

On the contract for the Qantas simulator, Rushton commented that "We are very much looking forward to working with CAE on this program. This prestigious Qantas program enables us to further enhance our relationship with CAE and to provide a superb training device for Qantas."

With more than 40 systems sold to airlines around the world, EP-1000CT has initiated a new era in visual realism for commercial aviation training. At the top of E&S' Environment Processor product line, EP-1000CT is designed specifically to meet the exacting requirements for FAA/JAA Level D (and equivalent) flight training. Unique training features include a whole-earth database, detailed airport scenes, complex terrain, advanced weather effects, and E&S' Continuous Texture(TM) (CT), which provides a seamless, high-resolution, textured 3D worldwide training environment.
