REAL CONTROLS. VIRTUAL WORLD.
MISSION-READY TRAINING.
Vertex mixed reality flight simulators combine physical cockpit controls with immersive virtual environments to deliver operationally relevant training without the cost, footprint, and infrastructure demands of traditional simulators.
why mixed reality?
the fidelity you need.
without everything you don't.
Mixed reality bridges the gap between desktop and VR training devices and traditional full-flight simulators. Pilots interact with physical controls, switches, avionics, and cockpit hardware while immersive visuals extend the training environment beyond the cockpit.
tactile realism
Physical controls and cockpit interfaces where touch and muscle memory matter.
targeted fidelity
Engineer the fidelity around the training requirement, not the simulator category.
low footprint
Reduce facility, infrastructure, logistics, and sustainment requirements.
mission flexibility
Support procedures, emergencies, formation, tactical training, mission rehearsal, and more.
BUILT AROUND THE MISSION
FROM PROCEDURES TO MISSION REHEARSAL.
Vertex mixed reality flight simulators support the full spectrum of training - from basic aircraft familiarization to complex, multi-ship mission scenarios.
PROCEDURIAL TRAINING
Cockpit familiarization, flows, checklists, and normal operations.
TACTICAL TRAINING
Air-to-air, air-to-ground, electronic warfare and mission-focused scenarios.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Train abnormal and emergency scenarios safely and repeatedly.
CREW TRAINING
Multi-seat environments for crew coordination and resource management.
INSTRUMENT TRAINING
Practice instrument procedures, navigation, and checkrides.
MISSION REHEARSAL
Connect pilots, instructors and training systems for complex operations.
ENGINEERED TO EVOLVE
ONE ARCHITECTURE.
MULTIPLE AIRCRAFT.
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
Vertex's modular hardware and open software architecture allow training systems to be configured around aircraft, mission and training requirements rather than forcing every customer into a fixed simulator design.
MODULAR HARDWARE
Physical controls and cockpit interfaces where touch and muscle memory matter.
OPEN ARCHITECTURE
Engineer the fidelity around the training requirement, not the simulator category.
DIGITAL TWINS
Reduce facility, infrastructure, logistics, and sustainment requirements.
NETWORK READY
Support procedures, emergencies, formation, tactical training, mission rehearsal, and more.

WHAT SETS VERTEX APART
TARGETED FIDELITY
The right fidelity for the skill, procedure, and training objective.
AIRCRAFT REALISM
Replicate the cockpit, controls, systems, and behaviors that matter for effective training.
OPERATIONALLY RELEVANT
Training designed around the procedures, conditions, and scenarios pilots encounter in the aircraft
TRAINING ACCESS & REPETITION
Give pilots more opportunities to practice procedures and build proficiency outside the aircraft and full-flight simulator.
