Diagnostic simulator of M-28 aircraft was designed in Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) in Warsaw together with Polish Air Force Academy (PAFA) in Deblin. The project was co-financed by European Union, as a part of “Innovative Economy” project entitled: “Development and tests of a diagnostic simulator of an aircraft with virtualization technology applied”. This paper describes main assumptions of the project, which aim was to build a diagnostic simulator of the M-28 aircraft with usage of virtual technology. Simulator is intended for ground engineering crew training in the scope of performing maintenance procedures and dealing with malfunctions. The paper gives the overview of simulator's technical and software structure. Also results of comparative tests carried out among 2 student groups, one trained with the usage of simulator, the other with the usage of previously used methods, are presented in the paper.
