Simulatorer
Museet har sex simulatorer:
- J 35J Draken från Flygvapnet (J 35:an är för tillfället stängd för översyn)
- JAS 39 Gripen (som även är anpassad för rörelsehindrade gäster)
- Convair 440 Metropolitan från SAS
- McDonnell Douglas DC-10 från Scanair
- Airbus A320 (Håll koll på onlinebokningen vilka söndagar som är bokbara)
- Link-trainer - en klassiker från 1920-talet
Simulatorerna är i första hand avsedda att ge dem som inte har någon tidigare erfarenhet som piloter en realistisk upplevelse av hur det är att spaka ett berömt flygplan och att visa hur arbetet i cockpit går till.
Västerås-företaget TV021 har sammanställt denna lilla film från vår simulatoravdelning:
Piper PA-23 Apache 150
USA
Twin-engine low-wing commercial aircraft. It was originally a "Twin Stinson" development, but was acquired by Piper. At Piper's time, there was really only experience of building single-engine aircraft, so they went out and bought that knowledge. Gradually, Apache developed into a whole family of several versions and with many different engine options.
A very successful aircraft type that has been sold to many countries and has come into use in a variety of contexts.
Later versions with more powerful engines were built in both 5- and 6-seat variants and manufactured until 1982. Also found in smaller numbers in several different Air Forces, including the US Navy.
The aircraft in the museum is in airworthy condition. It came to Sweden in 1956 and flew across the Atlantic to Sweden via Canada and Iceland.
Previously owned by AB Volvo.
