Case Study I Computer-based Training of Aircraft Engine
Case Study II   UAV Flight Simulation over Enemy Terrain


Computer-based Training of Aircraft Engine

The Problem
Our client, an overseas aircraft operator, required approximately twelve new operation and maintenance personnel to be trained on a quarterly basis for a period of seven weeks. These personnel are located at three different locations where the aircraft engines are in use. They only had one training facility but not adequate experienced instructors as these were in short supply and mainly deployed in operations. There was also a shortage of stripped parts to be used on a hands-on basis by maintenance trainees. Lack of any other computerized and/or audio-visual training aids resulted in increased training time and ineffective learning outcomes. Moreover there was a lack of interactive facilities for the trainees when they returned to their base location to be able to refresh their knowledge and or to consult with in cases of any problems or queries. E3DM provided the means for visualization of the inner workings of the aircraft engine. The application of animation technology addressed client's needs by the provision of a computer-based training (CBT) package.

The Opportunity
E3DM provided the means for visualization of the inner workings of the aircraft engine. The application of animation technology addressed client's needs by the provision of a computer-based training (CBT) package.

The Business Case
The client was interested to invest in producing an aircraft engine 3D simulation based training program that provided two advantages: Firstly, capturing the knowledge on the best or most experienced instructors along with accurate 2D drawings to provide a one-off product that is re-produced and used for training as well as an interactive reference manual; and secondly reducing the training period, cycle and the need for courses in a central location. The savings that were calculated to justify the business case showed a very high rate of return on investments over the whole lifetime of the engine.

The Deliverables
Using various 2D drawings and our standard library of enabling 3D modeling and simulation tools, our designers developed a bespoke product in close association and under the guidance of course instructors.

Aircraft Engine CBT


The Benefits

• High-quality, flexible and efficient training package;
• Seven weeks off-base training time was reduced to a mere two weeks;
• Enabling long-term and continuous self-learning process;
• Improved retention of information due to better visualization features.
• Precise tracking and measurability of the courses including provision of advanced automated quiz/test system.




Case Study - UAV Flight Simulation over Enemy Terrain


The Problem - Our client, a UK-based Defense Technology Centre needed to demonstrate the feasibility of the use of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) gaming software to simulate the flight of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) over enemy terrain. This could then be used for scenario-based operational training.

The Opportunity - E3DM was given a simple brief of a virtual village as the basis for developing a 3D model. Our existing library of photos and material textures provided the means of addressing the client requirement in an iterative manner.

The Deliverables - Using various 2D drawings and our standard library of enabling 3D modeling and simulation tools, our designers developed a bespoke product in close association and under the guidance of course instructors.
