full-flight simulators with Barco FL35 LED projectors on board, ensuring
that the highest fidelity training solutions are met for all market

High image quality, low total cost of ownership
The Barco FL35 WQXGA LED/DLP® projector offers
the world’s most stunning image with a pixel precision of 2,560 x
1,600, double the resolution, and 50 percent more brightness than any
other LED projector. Barco’s unique frame rate processing and
integrated adjustable SRP™ Smear Reduction Processing ensures smooth,
fast-moving images. With no lamps or consumables and an unmatched
100,000 hour lifetime based on 1,000 ANSI lumens and 24/7 operation, the
FL35 offers the lowest total cost of ownership for a projector of its
kind.
“This is an important contract for Barco, representing the
culmination of a strong, longstanding relationship with CAE over many
years,” comments Dave Fluegeman, Vice President Simulation at Barco.
