Introduction :

Packed with a multi-display setup, high-precision flight controls, and realistic aerodynamics, our simulator puts you right in the cockpit. It’s the ultimate hands-on tool for our members to practice basic flight maneuvers, master instrument flying (IFR), and explore complex onboard systems.

Our Goals

The Flight Simulator project is built around three core missions:

  • Sharing our Passion for Aviation:

       First and foremost, this simulator serves as a community project designed to share our love for flight and connect members around hands-on aerospace       technology.

  • Bridging Theory and Practice : 

We aim to collaborate with our school’s Aeronautics major, giving students the opportunity to bridge the gap between classroom theories (flight mechanics, avionics, onboard systems) and real-time cockpit application.

  • Inspiring the Next Generation:

During university Open Days and visits from local youth, our simulator acts as an interactive showcase. Giving young visitors a chance to take the controls provides an unforgettable experience that can spark curiosity and inspire future careers in aviation.
