During the Dubai Airshow, AFI KLM E&M, the Gulf Aviation Academy (GAA) and Gulf Air introduced an innovation using mixed-reality technologies developed by Nuveon, a joint venture founded between AFI KLM E&M and NLR, the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre.
The start-up has perfected, and validated with an initial client (Gulf Air, with the assistance of GAA), the world’s first supplementary training module for MRO training dedicated to the Rolls Royce Trent 1000, using the HoloLens system. Modules for other engines, systems and aircraft types are available.
The HoloLens is a pair of mixed-reality smart glasses and is perfectly adapted to applications in the field of aviation training. In addition to giving the trainees complete freedom of movement, the device enables trainers to superimpose a virtual environment over their real surroundings. Complex mechanical systems and components, such as those in the Trent 1000 engine on the Boeing 787 – are accurately recreated as a hologram, allowing the trainees to collaboratively train as a team and get to know them without physical constraints. With HoloLens, the aircraft is at the trainee engineer’s fingertips for both practical and theoretical sessions.
“The students can develop their skills in a dynamic and efficient way with shorter training times,” said Wanda Manoth-Niemoller, Commercial Development Director for Nuveon and Training AFI KLM E&M. “This new training method has taken on a technological but also an ecological dimension, by eliminating the need to transport trainees or components. Moreover, the module validated with our Gulf Air client is Part 147-certified by the EASA and by the Bahrain CAA.”
“This Technical Partnership with KLM will bring together our regional MROs and Operators, enabling us to provide the very best service and trainings from the MENA region to the Indian Subcontinent and more,” said Capt. Dhaffer Al Abbasi,Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Aviation Academy. “It strengthens our company and enhances our leadership in the region by filling the training gap in regard to maintenance training and by different, new and innovative Training methods and approaches.”
“The participants in the training module were quickly won over by the simplicity and modernity of the solution,” said Kresimir Kucko, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Air. “We’re delighted to have played a role in this global first, and we’re looking forward to seeing more of these innovations developed in the near future.”
Following the 787/RR Trent 1000, Nuveon, a joint venture co-founded by AFI KLM E&M and NLR, the Royal Netherlands Aerospace, is preparing to launch similar solutions for the 777/RR Trent 800 and PW4000.
