Product Applications

Flight Training and Instruction

For flight schools, training organisations and aviation colleges, the shell is a full-scale 1:1 cockpit structure that carries the instrument panel, pedestal and display systems. It forms a teaching environment that runs from procedure training to instrument flight training, in which trainees complete pre-flight preparation, procedure drills and abnormal-situation handling inside a cockpit of true dimensions.

Science Exhibition and Experience

Installed in science museums, aviation education centres and study-tour showrooms, it lets visitors step into the cockpit and take a pilot’s view point; combined with visual scenes and sound effects it becomes an immersive exhibit and an ideal carrier for promoting aviation culture to the public.

Simulator Integration and Upgrade

As the structural carrier of the CNFSimulator.A320 series, it supports complete-aircraft integration, split shipping and on-site assembly. It can also replace or upgrade the shell of an existing simulator platform, extending the service life of the equipment.

Product Components

Component	Description
Shell Body	Bent and welded from 2 mm 5052 aluminium-alloy sheet, rigid and resistant to deformation, so the instrument panel and pedestal are carried for years without distortion. Interior dimensions follow A320 cockpit data 1:1 — 2335 mm wide, 1610 mm high and 2185 mm deep.
Ceiling Panel and Curved Interior	The curved panels on both sides of the ceiling are moulded in FRP to the real aircraft curvature; interior surfaces follow the aircraft colour card, with DOME lights built in and headset storage on the same side.
Window Frames and Windshields	Window openings are machined to the A320 window profile, with frames made to the real-aircraft form; six windows are glazed on the outside with 5 mm clear acrylic — optically clear, impact resistant and individually replaceable.
Interior Sidewalls and Headliner	FRP moulded parts cover the sidewalls and ceiling, concealing sheet-metal seams and fasteners to form an interior surface close to the real cockpit, while improving cabin acoustics and touch feel.
Base Frame and Casters	The base frame carries the weight of the whole shell and is the mounting datum for the components; seven self-locking swivel casters underneath let one person roll and position the shell.
Surface Finish	The exterior is finished in matte black; interior colours are matched to the real aircraft and painted by zone to the interior colour card, for an appearance close to the real cockpit.
Integration Interfaces	Mounting interfaces for the instrument panel, pedestal, sidesticks, rudder pedals and displays are reserved inside the shell, so A320 series components can be added in stages.

Key Features

• 01 True 1:1 Aircraft Outline — Interior dimensions follow A320 cockpit data: 2335 mm wide, 1610 mm high and 2185 mm deep; window shape, ceiling curvature and fuselage lines keep true-aircraft proportions.
• 02 2 mm Sheet-Metal Main Structure — Bent and welded from 2 mm 5052 aluminium-alloy sheet; high strength and resistance to deformation keep the instrument panel and pedestal firmly supported.
• 03 FRP Moulded Interior — Curved ceiling panels and interior parts are moulded in FRP, giving accurate curvature and a smooth surface that fits the sheet-metal shell closely.
• 04 Authentic Window Profile and Acrylic Glazing — Windows are machined to the shape of the A320 aircraft window; six windows are glazed with 5 mm clear acrylic, impact resistant and replaceable piece by piece.
• 05 Seven Self-Locking Swivel Casters — Seven swivel casters with brakes let one person roll and steer the complete shell; the brakes lock it in position for stable training.
• 06 DOME Lights and Headset Storage — DOME lights built into the curved interior on both sides give even ambient lighting, and headset storage on the same side keeps headsets within reach.
• 07 Real-Aircraft Colour Scheme — Exterior colours match the real aircraft and interior surfaces are painted by zone to the aircraft colour card, for an appearance close to the actual cockpit.
• 08 Modular Integration Capability — The cockpit body is divided into flat modules bolted with M6 fasteners, with interfaces reserved for the panel, pedestal, sidesticks, pedals and displays.
• 09 Split Shipping and On-Site Reassembly — The shell splits into base, sidewalls and ceiling for separate packing, passing lift and doorway limits; it is reassembled on site without welding.
• 10 Serviceable Sheet-Metal Construction — The shell can be opened locally for inspection; interior panels and glazing are separate parts, replaceable individually instead of returning the whole unit.
