Today we have almost 886 full-flight simulators integrated into our data lake. We are sitting on top of 2.5PB (petabytes) of training data, which relates to evaluating the insights at the time of training. To convert that into effectively help the pilots get better trained through instructors.

So we have a data lake where we have the most variety of aircraft types integrated to provide telemetry at the time of training a pilot that instructors can then evaluate while grading, and help the pilots be much more competent to really keep us safe.

The Mach 5 stealth aircraft features a weapons system with a neuralink to the pilot’s brain, able to read the pilot’s thoughts and enable him to aim and fire missiles, guns and flares without pressing a button… a 3-second reaction advantage over any air-to-air foe.
