Thales, Aeralis to Develop Advanced Modular Training Aircraft Simulator Our Bureau 1827 Thales UK and Aeralis have entered into a Teaming Agreement to develop transformational AERALIS platforms. The development from Thales will take place alongside AERALIS’ contract with the RAF’s Rapid Capabilities Office to deliver research & development of an Advanced Modular Aircraft system. Aeralis is focusing on a UK-based development and production programme of a modular, and commercially driven aircraft system aimed at increasing capability whilst reducing through-life costs for customers. As they move to develop and certify a broad range of future aircraft systems to support the Royal Air Force’s ambition to rationalise its future fleet, they will be working in parallel with Thales in the UK to ensure that the training systems required to teach pilots to fly AERALIS will be ready in conjunction with the modular aircraft system.
