VR has vast potential to extend quality learning. The way animations & videos facilitated learning few years back, VR can extend the same with immersive experiental learning.

Bell Textron is making a monumental move in Fort Worth, Texas, with a $429 million investment to build a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This facility will produce critical components for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft FLRAA, a program designed to revolutionize military aviation. The FLRAA will fly twice as fast and twice as far as current aircraft, combining the agility of helicopters with the speed of fixed-wing planes. This expansion not only underscores Bell’s commitment to advancing military technology but also highlights Texas’ growing role as a hub for aerospace innovation. The new facility, spanning 447,000 square feet, is expected to create over 400 jobs and begin limited production by 2028. It’s a significant win for the local economy, offering internship and career training opportunities for students in the Northwest Independent School District. Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised the project as the first under the state’s new JETI program, which aims to attract major investments in advanced manufacturing and technology sectors. This expansion reflects broader trends in the aerospace and defense industries, where companies are prioritizing innovation to meet the demands of modern warfare. Bell Textron’s investment is a testament to the power of collaboration between industry, government, and educational institutions in driving economic and technological progress. #AerospaceInnovation #MilitaryTechnology #EconomicGrowth Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d44XruRZ

————————————— Fifteen Things Every Naval Aviator Can Teach You About Life by Matthew Brasmer You’re responsible. Attention is life. Inattention will be at least minimally harmful if not deadly. There is always a curriculum. Preparation is advised. A well-lived life, like flying, requires constant adjustments. Think before you speak or key the mic. The people or instructors you dislike can still teach you much. The airplane doesn’t care about your pedigree. Neither does life. If you are not putting your life or the airplane where it needs to be, it’s your fault and your responsibility to fix it. Use the checklist. Plan your actions well, and be ready for the inevitable emergency. It’s coming. Celebrate your successes, yet realize that your life’s curriculum will require more tomorrow. It’s the Way. As in flying and life, the path to happiness is freedom; the path to freedom is courage. You never earn your Wings just once. Keep on learning, especially from your mistakes and those of others. You are not as cool or as skilled as you think. Humility is advised to overcome incapacity and neglect. You’ll meet real jerks along your path; don’t become one. #FlyNavy

"We teamed up with a sister unit and a private company to apply the promising potential of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and Theory of Constraints principles to find solutions. ... These capabilities are anticipated to provide a 10 percent increase in aircraft availability through: -more sophisticated parts management -a reduction in maintenance durations -optimized warehouse storage ...that will free up physical space and financial capital to purchase new parts that have the highest effect on aircraft availability. The optimizations began as local improvements, but given time, they could improve the entire logistical framework. The Air Force and Navy have many supply and readiness challenges in common."
