div > div.group > p:first-child"> The technology, which uses HTC Vive equipment, has been designed to give engineers virtual refresher training with Rolls-Royce's biggest engine, the Trent XWB.
Using their devices, engineers will experience sight, touch and sound and be able to"separate" the engine and carry out training in a virtual environment. Steve Buckland is a customer and product training manager at Rolls-Royce and developed the virtual reality training program."Virtual reality has a valuable application here," he said in a statement Monday."It's going to save time, money, and frees up engines that could otherwise be on aircraft, keeping passengers moving," he added.
"Nothing will beat learning with an engine and this will never be replaced, but new technology is allowing us to be innovative with the ways we teach engineers," he added.
