AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings is partnering with American Airlines to deliver a new way of training apprentice painters and upskilling existing teams, through the use of a Virtual Reality (VR) technology that is significantly more efficient and sustainable than the airline's previous training regimes. The VR platform mimics a customer's production environment and multiple coating systems to train teams virtually. A VR headset immerses the American Airlines' trainee in a virtual paint booth, complete with the aircraft part to be coated. The system can be programmed with various paint specifications, such as the thickness of the coating required, and as the operator uses the spray gun, they can see whether too much or too little paint is used and look for inconsistencies in the way the coating is being applied.
