Reiser kündigt Zusammenarbeit mit Leonardo an, um AW139-FTD Level 3 für gezielte Marktanforderungen zu entwickeln
Cologne, Germany, 18 November 2025
At the European Rotors Show, REISER Simulation and Training GmbH announced it will join forces with Leonardo to codevelop a new-generation AW139 helicopter FTD (Flight Training Device) Level 3 simulator to meet specific civil-market requirements for high-fidelity, cost-effective solutions.
Reiser arbeitet mit Leonardo zusammen, um gemeinsam einen AW139 FTD Level 3 zu entwickeln, der auf die Anforderungen des Zielmarktes zugeschnitten ist.
This collaboration allows the partners to offer one more opportunity for operators seeking an exceptional training experience at a fraction of the cost of other simulation levels and standards when not explicitly required. With this initiative, REISER is also responding to specific needs set by HeliOperations of UK, as an AW139 operator, by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver one of these systems.
These simulators will integrate Leonardo’s OEM-grade simulation fidelity with REISER’s cutting-edge technology. Tailored for civil operators managing small to mid-sized fleets, this innovative solution dramatically lowers the entry barrier to simulation-based training while preserving a high level of realism. It enables operators to establish in-house training capabilities, improve flight safety, and boost operational readiness — all with minimal upfront investment.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to driving innovation, expanding accessibility, and elevating safety standards in rotorcraft training.
„For REISER, this partnership and the development of another helicopter training device together with Leonardo marks an important milestone in the collaboration and extends the product portfolio by one of the most relevant helicopter types in the world,“ says REISER CEO Dr. Johannes Hain.
