L3Harris building its training credentials

摘要

The new L3Harris, with its combined revenues of around $17 billion, may tower over CAE in terms of size, but in the reasonably new area of pilot training, the US defence systems giant comes in significantly behind the Canadian market leader. However, the company's impressive London training centre - opened officially on 10 July by the Prince of Wales - illustrates the ambitions of L3Harris Commercial Aviation to become a powerful player in the sector, both in terms of the manufacture of simulators and the provision of training services. The facility in Crawley, near London Gatwick airport, employs 350 people and comprises two buildings - one with eight full-flight simulator bays, as well as flat-panel trainers and briefing rooms, and the other a production hall with a capacity of 35 full-flight devices per year.
