Abstract

One of the challenges for airports is to provide effective emergency response training in the event of aircraft emergency scenarios. For airports there is the additional expense to provide that training that is typically performed at a remote facility. A portable inflatable training aircraft will provide this training and reduces the cost to the airport management so that the training can be ongoing and effective without interfering with the normal operation of the airport.
