1. Models

As our primary product, every single one of our models is built along a complex process. Starting from official information, our team carries out comprehensive data mining for every single airspace.

 

Once properly formatted and converted to flat coordinates, the data are projected into the design software and an initial model is built up.

Every model must cover different possible scenarios so its structure is an essential part; that is why all volumes must be double checked and related in a close-knit hierarchy.

 

We add the customer’s specifications (lights, sections, transparencies, dimensions, scenes, etc.) and the model is ready to be delivered.

2. Animations

An animated movie is the first derived product from a model. Depending on its complexity, an animation can be updated in a few minutes with new options in low resolution mode (non rendered) and distributed accordingly.

 

It is a major addition to the paper documentation. The ambiguity of the abstract figures and written descriptions no longer exists, as the operator actually “sees” what the paper describes.

3. Rendered Images

Before selecting any rendered image, we recommend using any other of our products to define the final image that the user wants to have.

 

Once we have the user’s required settings, high resolution images are perfect to illustrate and understand an ops room configuration, sectors relationships, flight paths, manuals, etc.

 

Click on any of the five standard options available for the same scene.  Compare resolutions on full screen.

4. KMZ files

Another group of derived products are KMZ files.  Geographic viewers like Google Earth and ArcGIS Earth are the simplest, most adequate programs to handle these files, although GIS packages can also load them.

 

Depending on the selected settings, KMZ files can be hierarchized to meet the user’s needs.

 

Please find below two examples of Google Earth and ArcGIS Earth handling the same KMZ file about Belgian Airspaces.

5. 3D Documentation and Manuals

Last in our current production line we find the 3D PDF technology as the perfect integration of all previous products into one single file.

 

From the initial data mining and formatting, we have travelled through base models, simple and complex animations, still rendered images, KMZ interactive models and finally, a distributable, light-weighted, user-friendly document which allows the user to have a comprehensive view of the airspaces involved in the operation at hand.

 

Understanding runway changes due to wind or any other reason, both in the cockpit or in the ops room or refreshing skills and knowledge for ground teams of any service, a 3D PDF document is always handy and can be updated in real time.
