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

Mixed Reality - Flight Simulator - Simtek The aviation training industry is rapidly evolving. Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are no longer future concepts — they are becoming a core part of modern flight training programs across both commercial and military platforms. But as primes and simulator integrators race toward immersive training environments, one challenge continues to separate successful programs from failed ones: The hardware still matters. At Simtek,

Simtek 10,000th part number Today marks a major milestone for Simtek. Since our founding in 1978, we have officially issued our 10,000th part number—a benchmark that represents decades of engineering excellence, manufacturing discipline, and unwavering commitment to our customers. What 10,000 Part Numbers Really Means This isn’t just a number. It’s 10,000 unique solutions—each one engineered, built, and delivered to support high-fidelity training systems across the globe. Fro

Simtek - Simulated Avionics control panels, display and instruments - BULLETPROOF RELIABILITY Every Simtek product is designed to match the tactile feel, actuation force, detents, and feedback of OEM avionics. That means: Switches that click with the same resistance and confidence Panels that feel solid, not hollow Controls that respond exactly as the pilot expects This isn’t cosmetic. It’s muscle memory training—and it matters. When pilots train on Simtek hardware, they’re n

In flight training, performance isn’t an accident. It results from disciplined execution at every stage of the process. From the first customer inquiry to final system validation, Simtek operates with a single mindset: Discipline drives performance. It Starts with Disciplined Quoting At Simtek, quoting isn’t just about numbers. It’s about clarity, accuracy, and setting the foundation for success. We approach every quote with: A deep understanding of platform requirements Clea

Simtek Simulated Landing Gear Handle C-130J When Performance Matters, Reliability Is Non-Negotiable In today’s training environments, downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly. Whether supporting military flight simulators, commercial aviation training, or cross-domain platforms, reliability and performance must work hand in hand. At Simtek , we design and manufacture simulated avionics hardware with a simple philosophy: Engineered to Perform. Built to Last. This isn’t jus

In today’s training and simulation environment, complexity is the norm—not the exception. Modern aircraft, ground systems, and cross-domain platforms demand hardware that not only looks authentic, but performs with precision, reliability, and consistency under continuous use. At Simtek, we’re often asked to step into programs where requirements are unclear, documentation is incomplete, or the platform itself presents unique engineering challenges. That’s where we excel. No SO

SIMTEK F-16 LANDING GEAR CONTROL PANEL Why Training Starts with Hardware You Can Trust When it comes to military and commercial flight training, confidence isn’t something that appears overnight—it’s built through repetition, realism, and reliability. And at the center of that experience is something often overlooked: The control panel. The Foundation of Confidence: Real Feel, Real Response Every pilot, crew member, or operator trains to react without hesitation. That level o

For over four decades, Simtek has built its reputation on one core principle: master the fundamentals, then lead the future. Long before glass cockpits and digital displays became standard, Simtek focused on designing and manufacturing precision analog gauges. These gauges formed the backbone of early military and commercial aircraft instrumentation. Those early days didn’t just define where we started; they shaped how we engineer today. That same foundation is now helping po
