Zen Technologies unveils first jointly-developed chopper simulator

Bengaluru: Zen Technologies and Rockwell Collins Thursday unveiled a next generation rotary wing simulator at the Aero India trade expo here, signalling their decision to join forces in military flight simulation.

"Rotary wing simulators are much more complex than those for fixed wing aircraft because of the space needed for the rotor blades. This is our way of telling the world we have arrived," Zen Technologies senior vice president (Aviation) HJ Kamath told IANS soon after the unveiling.
simulator has grown out of an MoU signed three months ago by the two companies.

"The task of integration was very very important. We never dreamt we could have done it in two-and-a-half months," Kamath added.

"The strategic alliance between Zen Technologies and Rockwell Collins will produce top-shelf solutions while also ensuring cost benefits for customers across the region since our capabilities are indigenized, including in software, electronics and visuals. With this launch, both companies aim to emerge, in the near future, as key partners to the Indian armed forces," he said.
