The COPD Shuttle: Journey to the Center of the Lung, is a 20-seat, state-of-the-art mobile motion simulator launched by the COPD Foundation in May 2010. The COPD Shuttle is designed to make viewers feel as if they are inside the body, offering a rare glimpse into the lungs, heightening their understanding of COPD, and providing a catalyst for thousands to seek assessment and treatment. The Shuttle is an excellent educational tool and due to its visibility easily finds a captive audience. When the Shuttle is present at a Mobile Spirometry Unit (MSU) event, it nearly doubles the amount of individuals who request to be screened by MSU staff. In 2011, over 10,000 individuals rode the COPD Shuttle.
