SIMTEK C-130 FLIGHT SIMULATOR PANEL DESIGN 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 d

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

Simtek - From Photo to Simulated Hardware You want a quote… but you don’t have a clean Statement of Work (SOW) , full drawings, or a complete bill of materials. At Simtek , that doesn’t stop the conversation. In fact, we’ve built our process around a reality most primes and integrators deal with every day: programs move fast, documentation lags behind, and legacy configurations don’t always come with neat engineering packages. Our approach: No SOW? No problem. Send a picture

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is exactly what it sounds like: a way to deliver DC power and Ethernet data over the same standard network cable . Instead of running an Ethernet cable and a separate power cable (plus an outlet or power supply), PoE lets you install and operate compatible devices using one cable from a PoE switch or injector. In the world of flight simulation hardware , that simplicity translates into something every integrator and prime cares about: faster build

In flight simulation, hardware isn’t just hardware—it’s the difference between a trainer that stays online and one that constantly fights downtime. Whether you’re building a new device, upgrading a legacy simulator, or sustaining a fleet over decades, you need cockpit components that are: built for high-cycle training use consistent across devices supportable long after typical electronics go obsolete backed by a supplier who responds fast when training schedules are at risk

When a simulator program is on the line, there are three hardware categories that can make—or break—training uptime: Instruments (gauges, indicators, standby units, and specialty controls) Displays (glass cockpit displays, ruggedized display solutions, and integrated visual interfaces) Panels (control panels, pedestal panels, overhead panels, and mission-specific assemblies) At Simtek , these aren’t side offerings. They’re what we do—every day. We supply simulated flight s
