EAST AURORA, N.Y. – December 2, 2024 –At I/ITSEC 2024, Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) invites attendees to pilot a CH-47Chinook at booth 649 via an innovative flight training device, FTD, that brings unmatched motion control and virtual reality to immersive aviation training, exceeding regulatory agency requirements.
“We can tailor our platform to simulate other helicopters, aircraft, or ground vehicles,” said Noud van Bavel, global marketing manager for Simulation & Test at Moog. “This FTD offers a level of realism and fidelity that simply hasn’t been available with other training devices and opens up a world of possibilities for military and civilian organizations to improve safety, reduce the cost of training, and put people into the field faster with enhanced skills.”
Attendees can climb into the pilot’s seat of Moog’s fully working simulator, built on a Moog high-performance motion platform. They can then don a VR Headset and lift off from any Airbase. The simulator is a live demonstration of Moog’s 40 years of experience with every high performing component customers need to make their own line of FTDs:
• A full control loading solution with flight stick and mimicked CH-47 thrust lever with dynamic feedback, and adjustable pedals accurately representing everything a pilot feels in the real helicopter.
• Top-of-the-line motion platform with 6 degrees of freedom, built to last.
“This is no arcade ride; it’s designed for professional systems and only the highest levels of performance,” added van Bavel.

Moog goes beyond its VR demonstration unit
New this year is the release of two major Moog motion systems, the E60 and P60, for organizations needing larger systems for Level D flight training centers. The standard for all electric motion systems is the E60, an update on Moog’s previous generations, now with even better reliability and simplified maintenance for top simulation OEMs’ exacting requirements. The P60 pneumatic motion system, which leverages enhanced power management and integrated pneumatics, boasts a 75 percent savings in energy over traditional all-electric systems. Stop by the booth at I/ITSEC to talk with the team at Moog on how to build a new energy-efficient product line of simulators with the P60 or leverage the improvements of the E60 to make the best all electric simulator on the market.
