| ETC Begins Final Assembly of Japanese GL-4000 |
| Southampton, Pa, July 19, 2006: Environmental Tectonics Corporation (AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") has begun final assembly of its GYROLAB GL-4000 Advanced Spatial Disorientation Trainer for a Japanese customer. This state-of-the-art training system will be ready for delivery by the end of the year.
The GL-4000 is designed to train pilots to cope with in-flight Spatial Disorientation (SD). The system features an advanced medical monitoring and data acquisition system to support full clinical and operational research into SD, loss of situational awareness and motion sickness for aircrews, space crews and space travelers. The GL-4000 is the second GYROLAB trainer to be delivered to Japan; the first, a GYROLAB GL-2000 has trained aircrew for over 15 years and remains in service today. The GL-4000 creates a simulated flight environment by employing a 4-degree-of-freedom (4DoF) motion system that provides 360º motion in pitch, roll and yaw plus centrifugal acceleration to replicate the motion and G cues that the pilot experiences in flight. The real world visuals are displayed on a high-resolution 120° by 70° projected dome display to maximize training realism and skills transfer from the GL-4000 to the aircraft. A full-feature operator console and Interactive Profile Editor gives the customer the ability to modify and customize the training profiles provided to match current needs or to create new training profiles to meet emerging training needs. "We have put significant state-of-the-art technology into this device," said William F. Mitchell, President and Chairman of ETC, "including advanced visuals and motion control. We are proud that ETC is once again setting the standard for the flight simulation industry, and we are proud to be a repeat supplier for Japan." ETC is hosting a booth at the Farnborough Airshow from July 17-23 in Hall 2, Booth B35. | |
