Driving Factors

Growing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Deployment

The high pace of urban air mobility ecosystems development has triggered the need of eVTOL pilot training and operational readiness tools. Although cities design air taxi networks, simulators are finding more use in constructing effective and safe flight practices. There are government and aviation bodies backing certification aviation pilot programs, and more are adopting simulators. Large aerospace organisations are initiating test projects, which directly increases training facilities. This trend is still driving expansion in the eVTOL simulator market growth with commercial introduction dates close at hand.

Rising Safety and Certification Requirements

AV regulatory agencies such as FAA and EASA are implementing high standards of training and safety measures to operate eVTOL activities. Making use of high-fidelity simulators is necessary to test pilot reaction, emergency behavior and dynamism of the aircraft system in the controlled conditions. Simulators are utilized by manufacturers in order to prove the validity of flight control systems and airworthiness approvals. With the complexity of aircrafts, simulation training guarantees pilot experience and minimization of risks. The increase in safety requirements is thus increasing the need of simulators in the industry fueling the eVTOL simulator market growth.

Restraining Factor

Authentication of the autonomous flight training via AI will further expand the extent of innovation. This changing environment provides a massive business opportunity to the simulation technology providers.

Absence of standardized pilot training regulations

Challenge

One of the main issues of the eVTOL simulator market is the lack of uniform pilot training policies regarding operations of the urban air mobility. AD There are many different designs of eVTOL aircraft, which differ in propulsion, flight behavior and design thus it is hard to develop a unified training model.

Different regulatory organizations, such as FAA and EASA, are not yet able to provide structured certification instructions and so uncertainty arises among the manufactures. This also postpones the validation of simulator models and commercial deployment schedules.
