Canadian Department of National Defense use Dreamflyers for Cadet Flight Training

The Canadian Air Force teach approx 65 air cadets to fly real Schweizer gliders each summer at Gimli, their instructors use Dreamflyers to enhance their training. RCAF Captain Brian Renaud observed that “It has proven most useful for students that may experience problems with their real flying - they practice in a Dreamflyer and for the most part they can overcome their problem thanks to the Dreamflyer. It works slick.”

Dreamflyer Adds Motion to NASA’s Fight Simulation

NASA’s Cognitive State Monitoring Lab is using a Dreamflyer-Driven Flight Simulation system combined with optical neuroimaging technology to monitor Human Performance and Cognition in Extreme Environments.

One of NASA’s core objectives is to improving flight deck safety by monitoring and thus better understanding physiological reactions of personnel to extreme conditions. Other potential uses include:
• Brain-computer interface for prosthetic activation
• Biofeedback for self-training, craving control
• Brain-controlled gaming applications
• Cognitive assessment for Alzheimer’s disease
