Alenia Aermacchi is part of the larger Finmeccanica Group,
Italy's leading high technology manufacturer.
Alenia Aermacchi has been designing and manufacturing trainer aircraft for almost a century.
Over the years, the company has sold over 2,000 trainers to
more than 40 countries.
The M-346 is an advanced trainer aircraft designed by Alenia Aermacchi.
It is used by the Italian and Singapore Air Force and is the only new generation fighter
trainer currently available in Europe.
To demonstrate the M-346's abilities during tradeshows and other promotional events,
Alenia Aermacchi has developed a ground demonstrator device in partnership with CAE.
The flight simulator is a true replica of the M-346 cockpit and allows the user to operate
it as if it were a real aircraft.
To ensure the images on screen are as realistic as possible,
Alenia Aermacchi selected Barco's simulation projectors.
They are equipped with the industry's latest and fastest switching LCoS technology,
which delivers razor sharp, no-smear images for high-speed motion applications
like this.
The simulator can show demonstrations of tactical scenarios,
including the execution of Beyond Visual Range radar target acquisition and simulated weapons
engagements typical of modern fighter operations.
The simulator consists of a cylindrical screen with three rear-projected SIM 7 projectors
for a 180° out the window view and an additional SIM 5W projector for the head-up display projection,
making it the ideal device to demonstrate the true power of the M-346.
