ACME Worldwide Enterprises continues to push the boundaries of innovation in simulation training with its cutting-edge Static Simulator Seats, designed to meet the diverse needs of military, law enforcement, and commercial training programs. These high-fidelity static seats are the perfect blend of realism, functionality, and cost-efficiency, providing trainers with a versatile solution for building essential skills without the need for live equipment.
Versatile Solutions for Diverse Applications
ACME’s static seats are meticulously crafted to replicate the look, feel, and function of real-world crew seats, whether for fighter jets, main battle tanks, helicopters, or amphibious vehicles. With unparalleled customization options, ACME can produce static seats for nearly any crew position, including:
- Reclined seat backs for main battle tanks
- Articulated armor panels for helicopter simulators
- Specialized seats for fast patrol or riverine boats
- Authentic replicas for planes, trains, and automobiles
This attention to detail ensures that trainees experience the same fit, handling, and operational features as they would in the actual vehicle.
Realism Without Compromise
Nearly all ACME simulator seats are available as either a full Dynamic Motion Seat with our complete motion cueing system inside, or as a static seat. Our static seats provide the same full visual fidelity and realism as our motion seats, just without the motion cueing system. Built with materials and components identical to those found in actual aircraft or vehicle seats, these seats feature:
- Authentic levers, handles, harnesses, buckles, and cushions.
- Adjustable head and armrests.
- To ensure accessibility for the wide range of crew sizes, we typically include an electric seat height actuator.
This attention to detail ensures trainees experience the same look and feel they would in an operational environment.
Training Benefits Across Simulators
Static seats are a key element in a variety of simulator setups, from desktop simulators and part-task trainers to sophisticated Operational Flight Trainers (OFTs) and Weapon System Trainers (WSTs). For example, our work on the T-7 trainers involved delivering both static and motion seats across multiple simulation platforms, demonstrating our expertise in comprehensive system support.
In fighter simulators, static seats play a crucial role in training for:
- Ingress/Egress: Trainees practice climbing into the cockpit, connecting interfaces such as mask air, G-suit hoses, and communication cords, as well as adjusting harnesses and lap belts.
- Ejection Training: Crews learn to arm and safe the ejection seat and disconnect quickly and safely in emergencies. This muscle memory, developed through realistic practice, can save lives in critical situations.
These seats also enable trainees to become familiar with cockpit ergonomics, teaching them where to place their hands and feet during critical operations.
Cost-Effective and Efficient
ACME’s static seats offer a cost-effective alternative to flight-worthy or decommissioned aircraft seats. They are quicker to produce while delivering the same level of functionality required for effective training. This makes them an ideal solution for both budget-conscious programs and high-demand training environments.
Build Muscle Memory. Build Confidence. Build Expertise.
With a focus on precision, durability, and adaptability, ACME Worldwide Enterprises continues to deliver innovative solutions that elevate the simulation training experience. Our static seats represent another step forward in preparing crews for the challenges they may face in real-world operations.
