Transoft Solutions launches new AeroTURN Pro

Highly anticipated airside design software hits the market just in time for New Large Aircraft accommodation at airports


- VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, May 24, 2006 - Airport designers, engineers and planners have just received a means to help substantially boost to their productivity. AeroTURN Pro, an innovative airside design software program developed by Transoft Solutions, has just been released. AeroTURN Pro simplifies the process for designing and evaluating apron clearances and passenger boarding bridge layouts. Incorporating components to accommodate the class of NLA (New Large Aircraft) such as the Airbus A380 as well as aircraft like Boeing"s 787 Dreamliner, the new software will allow airports to efficiently analyze their existing infrastructure as to its compatibility with these new aircraft types so when they do arrive, they arrive with no unseen surprises.

As with its predecessor, AutoTURN Aircraft, AeroTURN Pro will retain the popular aircraft swept path analysis engine but as well offer users the ability to create and assess aircraft apron clearances and boarding bridge layouts. AeroTURN Pro"s inclusive bridge model library which will allow designers to easily verify multiple bridge-to-aircraft slope calculations, rotunda locations and parked aircraft positions along lead-in lines, creating a comprehensive aircraft stand database more efficiently when compared to traditional methods

Standout highlights in AeroTURN Pro include:

"Heads Up Design" displays real-time slope calculations during docking simulation
Comprehensive specifications library of passenger boarding bridges and aircraft with the ability to create custom bridges from user-defined specifications
Defines bridge slope for minimum and maximum aircraft sill height, envelope of operation of specified bridge, rotunda location with parked cab position and dimensioned stop lines all lead-in line
A logical docking simulation process for bridge to aircraft and aircraft to bridge design
Ability to create a custom terminal database of multiple aircraft stands
Quick evaluation tool for designing with clearance at aircraft stands, aprons, taxiways and runways
Generate speed-based aircraft and ground support Vehicle simulations
Ability to prepare professional presentations


"We discovered that airport designers and engineers needed a highly practical application that included passenger boarding bridge specifications so that they could develop and check their runway, taxiway and apron planning design projects. Our principal intention with AeroTURN Pro was to continue to be very user-focused with the product and provide clients with exactly what they"ve been asking for most- exceptional performance, multiple functionality, and stability, all within one easy to use software bundle. For instance, if a designer"s passenger boarding bridge is not available in our comprehensive library, no problem; they can quickly and easily create their own to evaluate the bridge slope with our unique "heads up display"." said Amanda Clark, Airport Business Development Manger at Transoft. "An overwhelming response from our users indicates that we have reached our objectives by delivering an advanced, industry-leading tool that will enable them to get their jobs done better and faster."

Beta testers have had an equal enthusiasm regarding the new product. Jorge A. Monroy, from an international renowned engineering company, had this to say, "(AeroTURN Pro) is a very impressive piece of software and also easy to use and can be deployed on different types of CAD platforms, without loosing any accuracy or quality...Currently, I don"t have software used to design aircraft stands. I think this will be the answer."

Other beta tester comments included Lincoln Chan from the full service consulting engineering firm, Hatch Mott MacDonald. "Wonderful software for airport design as both aircraft tracking and gate simulation are in all in one package", said Mr. Chan of AeroTURN Pro"s uniqueness.

In her closing remarks, Ms. Clark added, "With AeroTURN Pro, Transoft Solutions is poised yet again to leap into a new level of accomplishment and I"m very excited to be at the vanguard with such an exceptional product."

Transoft"s suite of products for CAD-based platforms are easy to use programs that assist with highway, roadway, parking facility, and airside design and does so much quicker and simpler compared to conventional methods. Various aircraft maneuvering software from Transoft Solutions have been in use since 1993.
