Newton Design, LLC  

Newton Design is an experienced developer of Fuselage Trainers (FuTs) for various fixed and rotary wing aircraft types. FuTs provide a dedicated training environment for cargo loadmasters/crewmasters, boom operators, maintenance personnel, and flight crews. FuTs can be developed using actual aircraft fuselages as the basis for the training device, or can be fully simulated mockups of the aircraft fuselage. Cargo compartments are replicated to the highest fidelity, including cargo doors/ramps, cargo handling systems, crew/personnel entry doors, and emergency escape exits. Aircraft lighting, communication systems, and emergency equipment are included to provide a complete training environment. 

Newton Design provides structural/mechanical design and manufacturing for various Weapon Systems Trainers (WSTs), including the KC-135 Boom Operator Weapon System Trainer (BOWST) and KC-46 Boom Operator Trainer (BOT). We apply our expertise in providing high-fidelity aircraft cabin simulations for the commercial aviation industry to the design, development, and manufacturing of military WSTs. This ensures that the location and feel of control mechanisms is faithfully replicated, and the physical environment of the WST provides the highest fidelity simulation possible. We go to great lengths to design WST structures that are easily maintainable and supportable for life of the program, using mechanical simulation to replace complex mechanisms and costly aircraft (airworthy) components.

We apply our experience in providing high-fidelity aircraft door, emergency exit, and cabin training simulators for the commercial aviation industry to the design and development of military extraction and loading trainers. This allows the end user to train personnel on the procedures and techniques required to properly extract themselves or other crewmembers from a disabled air or ground vehicle, or, to properly load, unload, and treat combat casualties during the transport phase of patient care.   

Increase the realism of training scenarios by adding simulated firearms to training exercises.
