The AERALIS Experience

AERALIS ensuring its military training aircraft are ready for Sixth-GenerationPress Release–5thJune 2019AERALIS, the young British company developing a new class of military trainer aircraft, is working closely with leading defence primes to ensure that it can deliver the advanced training required for sixth-generation fighter jets. The United States, the UK, France, Germany, Japan, China and Russia have already announced the development of a sixth-generation aircraft program.Whilst these conceptual aircraft of the future will undoubtedly share many of the stealth and other technologies of fifth-generation aircraft like the F35, their evermore complex sensor, communication and weapons systems are certain to place even greater demands on the pilot, making training those pilots even more challenging.

AERALIS develops new leasing model for its fighter jet pilot training aircraftPress Release–30thApril 2019AERALIS, the British company currently developing a new generation of fighter jet pilot training aircraft and flying training system, is looking to offer a new leasing model that promises to significantly reduce costs for their potential customers.Adopting a unique modular concept built around a robust common core fuselage, the AERALIS suite of jet trainers will have 85% commonality of parts allowing for significant cost savings over purchasing more traditional aircraft.With the leasing arrangements that AERALIS is developing, the customer will not be burdened by huge capital purchasing costs but will have the ability to flex their flying training system as their requirements change over time.The AERALIS trainer aircraft will offer a significantreturn on investment (ROI)due to a fuselage that can be easily re-roled and which is built to outlast traditional airframe structures. When combined with the flexibility that the AERALIS training concept will provide, the cost reductions in training the fighter pilots of tomorrow become even greater.Tim Davies, AERALIS Strategy Director, commented:“Buying trainer aircraft outright is a major investment for any air force and much of that investment is wasted when the planes are standing idle because the training needs have changed. With our innovative leasing plans, AERALIS is changing all that. The AERALIS/Lessor/Lessee relationship means that the end user will be able to adapt their trainer fleet to meet both current and future training requirements.”AERALIS also aims to deliver shorter overall pilot training times by exposing students earlier to more complex mission management training due to configurable cockpits and a fully tailorable flying training system.

What does a DataLink do for pilots and what information is transmitted across them? Does AERALIS need an encrypted DataLink and what if you want a military grade one?Why are the A and B variants synthetic only and what if I want a real RADAR?All questions that need answering, luckily you've found me!

Episode 2 for you AERALIS legends! Today, I talk about the features of the AERALIS vehicle and why the AERALIS X is ready-made to fly for a particular aerobatics teams (...but it's a secret, shhh #RedArrows)
