High Fidelity – Rotary Realism
Lyra™ systems are advanced, high-fidelity helicopter simulator dome displays engineered for unparalleled rotary-wing training experiences. These innovative visual systems deliver a continuous out-the-window view, including critical chin and side window visibility, optimized for the unique demands of helicopter operations.
Featuring superior parallax reduction and an expansive lower vertical field of view, Lyra excels in replicating diverse scenarios from multi-mission and attack to search & rescue and transport operations. Certified for FAA Level 7 flight training devices, Lyra sets the standard for helicopter simulation, enhancing pilot proficiency across a wide range of rotary-wing platforms.
