The Need for Speed
Our fighter jet simulator experience puts you in the cockpit of a high-performance military aircraft operating from the deck of an aircraft carrier. High-resolution virtual reality, physical motion, tactile feedback and spatial audio work together to recreate the power, precision and excitement of carrier aviation.
Feel the aircraft
High-resolution virtual reality, physical motion, tactile feedback and spatial audio work together to create a remarkably convincing flight deck experience.
High-Resolution Visuals
Feel the rush of high-speed flight as we simulate the extreme performance of a modern fighter aircraft operated from the deck of an aircraft carrier.
​
High-resolution virtual reality places you inside the cockpit, with the aircraft controls, instruments and outside world surrounding you. Look around naturally and experience the cockpit from the pilot’s perspective.
Physical Motion
Enjoy the freedom of flight and master the precise control required to land the jet on the deck.
​
Feel the aircraft respond beneath you. Motion and tactile feedback recreate the sensations of taxiing, acceleration, rotation, turns, turbulence, touchdown and braking as your flight unfolds.
Spatial Audio
Hear the aircraft around you. Engine start, changes in thrust, aircraft systems, aerodynamic noise and other cockpit sounds surround you and respond as the aircraft moves through each stage of flight.

We start by getting to know you and what you'd like to try during the session. Not sure? We have many different options to offer you. This helps us tailor the session around you.
Before putting on a headset, we'll talk through how the experience works and what to expect. You'll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and we'll agree how you'd like to approach the session.
Settle into the cockpit and we'll carefully set up the virtual reality equipment, sound and motion around you and explain the controls.Â
We'll take the flight we've already designed together — departure through to landing — but it isn't a fixed programme. We can pause, repeat, change location, weather, anything you like.
Afterwards, we'll talk through the experience, revisit anything you'd like to understand better and answer any remaining questions before you leave.

[5] Approach & Landing
Choose where you’d like to fly and get familiar with the aircraft, its controls and the flight ahead. No previous flying experience is necessary.
Bring the aircraft to life, prepare for a catapult departure from the deck of the aircraft carrier whilst the engines and aircraft systems respond around you.
Experience the epic launch of a F18 from the deck. Feel the acceleration build before climbing away from the aircraft carrier.
Fly the aircraft for yourself. Climb, turn and explore how an agile fighter jet responds to your inputs, with guidance available whenever you need it.
Bring the aircraft back towards the carrier, line up with the deck and experience the challenge of landing a jet on the tiny carrier deck yourself.Â
Your Flight. Your Controls
You’re in the pilot’s seat, but you won’t be left on your own. Guidance is available throughout, whether it’s your first time flying a simulator or you’re ready for more of a challenge.
