Huit nouvelles acrobaties, changement de séquence, nouvelle musique et commentaires. Installation de GoPros et gps trackers dans les cockpits pour connaitre la position exacte des pilotes et un nouvel enregistreur vidéo digital. Cela permettra d'analyser objectivement les manœuvresThis year’s show includes eight types of new maneuvers, a changed sequence, new music and narration, changes to the ground show, and the shutdown. The team rewrote its operations manual and installed things like GoPros in the cockpits, GPS trackers to show the exact lines pilots flew, and a new digital video recorder system. These changes “eliminated all the subjectiveness from it. It is cold, hard data that we can look at. And it’s very unemotional: You either did it right or did it wrong, and we have the data here to prove it. And that’s what really made the team, I think, more effective and better.”
Les F-16 ont reçu un système d'évitement de collisions mais il ne fonctionne pas très bien avec les démos du teamThe F-16s themselves received the newest tech suite, the Operational Flight Program M7.2+ upgrade, which provided new capabilities but also a challenge. The suite includes the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System, which takes over controls if it senses the F-16 is about to crash. But, the system doesn’t work well with aerobatic displays.
