To revolutionize aviation training through innovative, technology-driven solutions that make learning immersive, accessible, and effective.

How did you start working on this idea?

We began by identifying gaps in traditional pilot training, where high costs and limited accessibility restrict learning opportunities. Leveraging our aviation expertise, we started integrating VR, AI, and micro-learning to create scalable, affordable, and immersive training solutions.

What problem are you trying to solve and how big is it?

The aviation industry faces a global pilot shortage and rising training costs, with many aspiring pilots unable to access quality preparatory programs. This is a multibillion-dollar challenge affecting flight schools, airlines, and military training worldwide.

What is your solution and how does it work?

Our solution combines VR-based cockpit familiarization, AI-powered role-play assessments, and e-learning micro-courses to deliver a complete, flexible training ecosystem. Users can train anytime, anywhere, with performance tracked and optimized through our LMS.

What is your business model / how do you make money?

We operate on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, licensing our program per user and bundling VR headsets where required. Additional revenue comes from AI-powered Roleplay, content licensing, customization, and recruitment partnerships.

How did you go to market and start acquiring customers?

We target ATOs, airlines, and military organizations through direct partnerships, demos, industry events, and strategic collaborations. For individual pilots, we use online campaigns, pilot communities, and partnerships with flying schools.

How many customers and paid users do you have?

We have pilot users across demo programs and are in active discussions with several international training organizations for full-scale adoption.
