Aircraft maintenance is considered the foundation for aircraft operations in assuring airworthy conditions. Traditional training setup has several deficiencies pertaining to the availability of aircraft and specialized equipment. Therefore, studying to develop a solution, which has an affordable cost and easily-accessible potential, to improve aircraft maintenance practical training is important for both academia and the aviation industry. The present work has the purpose of developing a numerical-based application using Virtual Reality (VR) technology for sophisticated aircraft maintenance practices, applying to specific Airbus aircraft’s Nose Landing Gear systems (A320). The VR platform is designed and developed using a loop of several phases. First, the related aircraft maintenance procedures from the aircraft manufacturer manuals are analyzed. Second, configurations and dimensions of the involved aircraft systems and components are modeled using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. Third, a virtual maintenance working environment is developed using a free simulation platform (Unity). The results show highly promising potential in applying emerging technologies such as VR in the development of fully digital solutions for aviation training, especially in a high-tech field such as Aircraft maintenance where complex mechanical systems and strictly regulated procedures are involved. For future works, other aircraft systems as well as additional aircraft types could also be included.
