Markus Lankes, SiCoTec´s technical manager:

"It was the first show where we had the possiblity to present a full cockpit. Only 2 weeks in front, we agreed to present the cockpit. Our team worked hard to get all finished in time.

This SiCoTec refurbishment CH53 cockpit is the biggest and best helicopter cockpit you will find anywhere, at the moment.

The SiCoTec 3DOF Helicopter Vibration Platform, which is integrated in the CH53 cockpit structure is one of the most powerfull, you will find around the world.

We are proud to be the developer of this 3DOF Helicopter Vibration Platform, which was started as an prototyp, early 2010."

Every visitor of ITEC 2011, who had a chance to get a visit in the CH53 cockpit, was more than impressed to get this Real-Rotor-Blade-Vibrations inside the helicopter cockpit.

Two days after the show, the cockpit was delivered to the final customer.
