Simtek - T-6 Flight Simulator Displays Simtek helps commercial and defense training programs repair, reproduce, reverse engineer, and modernize unsupported simulator cockpit hardware. Commercial aircraft fleets often remain in service for decades. Defense platforms may operate even longer, receiving upgrades, mission changes, avionics modifications, and life-extension programs long after the original cockpit hardware was designed. Simulators must keep pace. Eventually, many o

F-16 CENTER PEDESTAL DISPLAY In simulator hardware, fidelity is often discussed in broad terms. High fidelity. Low fidelity. Aircraft-representative. Training-capable. But real fidelity is not created by one large feature or one impressive-looking cockpit assembly. It lives in the details. It is found in the feel of a switch as it moves through its detent. It is found in the brightness and clarity of an annunciator. It is found in the spacing of a panel legend, the resistance

Simtek C-130 Flight Simulator Control Panel When prime contractors select simulation hardware partners, they are not simply looking for a supplier that can produce a panel, display, or instrument. They need a company that understands the realities of program execution: technical requirements, schedule pressure, repeatability, quality documentation, long-term support, and the ability to deliver products that perform reliably in demanding training environments. That is where Si

Simtek - Simulated Avionics Simulator programs are under constant pressure to reduce cost. Customers want shorter lead times, easier maintenance, and lower acquisition cost. All without sacrificing the realism needed to support effective training. The good news is that lowering cost does not have to mean lowering training value. The key is identifying where fidelity truly matters and where a simpler, purpose-built solution can provide the same training benefit. Focus Fidelity

In flight simulation, excellence is not accidental. It is engineered. Every realistic avionics panel, display, control, lightplate, and cockpit component begins with a deep understanding of how the real aircraft system looks, feels, operates, and performs in a training environment. At Simtek, mechanical and electrical engineering work together to turn complex requirements into reliable, manufacturable, simulator-ready products. For decades, Simtek has supported the flight sim

Simtek F18 Flight Simulator Simulator buyers are under more pressure than ever to do more with less. Training devices need to be cost-effective, reliable, realistic, and delivered on schedule. At the same time, customers are looking at new approaches such as mixed reality, virtual reality, desktop trainers, and lower-level flight training devices. The answer is not always to make every part of the simulator high fidelity. The smarter approach is knowing where fidelity matters

From all of us at Simtek—thank you, Soldiers. The U.S. Army birthday is a chance to recognize something timeless: grit, discipline, and commitment to the mission. For generations, Soldiers have carried the standard—often in the toughest conditions—so others can live in peace. A legacy of service and strength The Army’s history is written in perseverance: adapting to changing battlefields, evolving tactics and technology, and building teams that can execute anywhere in the wor

Few aircraft represent endurance, capability, and mission readiness like the B-52 Stratofortress. B-52 Flight Simulator Control Panel - Simtek For decades, the B-52 has remained one of the most recognized aircraft in the United States Air Force fleet. Designed as a long-range, heavy bomber, the B-52 continues to support a wide range of missions and remains a critical part of America’s strategic aviation capability. The aircraft is capable of operating at high subsonic speeds

TSIS 2026 Every year, Simtek attends the Training & Simulation Industry Symposium (TSIS) to stay connected with the evolving needs of the U.S. military training community and to strengthen relationships with our customers and industry partners. We are proud to once again attend TSIS 2026, taking place June 17–18 in Orlando, Florida. TSIS is one of the premier events focused on military training and simulation, bringing together Service procurement leaders, program managers, i

Simtek Synchroscope - Power Plant Training For decades, Simtek has been recognized for delivering high-fidelity simulated avionics used in commercial and military flight simulators around the world. But our engineering expertise extends far beyond the cockpit. Today, Simtek also designs and manufactures simulated training hardware solutions for power plant simulators and industrial training environments — helping operators train safely, efficiently, and realistically without

Memorial Day is not a celebration—it’s a day of remembrance. It’s the day we pause to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to this country. They didn’t come home. And because they didn’t, generations of Americans have been able to live, work, build, and raise families in freedom. At Simtek, Memorial Day carries weight. We don’t take our role in the defense and training ecosystem lightly. We build simulated avionics that sup

Vertical Integration. Total Control. Why Vertical Integration Flight Simulation Manufacturing Matters In the world of aviation training, reliability and precision are everything. Flight simulators are expected to perform day after day in demanding training environments where failure is not an option. That is why vertical integration flight simulation manufacturing plays such an important role in delivering dependable simulator hardware. At Simtek, nearly every aspect of engin
