blackshark.ai is collaborating with TRU Simulation + Training Inc., a Textron Inc. company, for pilot training. Leveraging blackshark.ai's AI-driven platform, virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality technologies, as well as Epic's Unreal Engine, the entities believe the technology will revolutionize pilot training with immersive and hyper-realistic 3D environments. TRU Simulation will be the first to launch the technology in the new Veris VR Simulator.

blackshark.ai’s technology recreates airports and locations, simulating the complexities of navigating dense urban landscapes.  blackshark.ai's Digital Airport Generator enables the creation of detailed digital airport models with dynamic lighting systems and runway markings. The AI-driven platform can recreate any airport and location to serve new customers of the Veris simulator.

As a concrete starting point, JFK Airport and the larger NYC area, including Manhattan’s heliport, have been developed to demonstrate the technology’s capabilities.
