Fly the World's Only Vulcan Bomber Flight Simulator - 30 minutes
About this experience
Reach new heights of adrenaline and fly the world’s only Vulcan Bomber Flight Simulator in this incredible 30 minute immersive experience.
You’ll be escorted to a top-secret, 1970s RAF-style facility where you’ll meet your co-pilot and review your plans for what’s ahead. Whether you fancy the challenge of formation flying, or simply want to feel the rush of low-level flight, there’s plenty to choose from. The cockpit is an exact scale replica of the real thing, so you’ll feel truly immersed as you plug in your headset, listen to Air Traffic Control and start the four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines, ready to fly!
Take a deep breath as 60,000 lbs of thrust hurl you down the runway, before you point the nose skywards and climb at nearly 16,000 feet per minute. This fantastic simulator has been tested and verified by ex-Vulcan pilots and is the only one of its kind in the world today! Now, it's your turn to give it a go.
