The most true-to-life Spitfire flight simulator at Boultbee Flight Academy

In order to give pilots a realistic sensation of flying, Boultbee Flight Academy wanted to create a simulator with a realistic aerodynamic model of the Spitfire Mk IX. This would use a real Spitfire MkIX fuselage with authentic gauges, controls and instruments. It would need high resolution imagery projected onto a spherical dome screen to simulate what a pilot would see and experience when flying this fighter plane. The simulator was installed in a 3.4 x 4 x 2.9m (WxDxH) room adjacent to the pilots’ briefing room. The 3.2 m radius spherical dome screen needed to be manufactured in bespoke segments to allow installation with minimum clearance in the height and width domains. Seven Optoma W505 projectors with short throw 0.8:1 lenses were positioned and oriented so the images covered the spherical screen completely and, also very importantly, such that the Spitfire Mk IX fuselage, with its canopy closed, does not created any shadows on the screen.
