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 - 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

In training, the mission is never simple. Requirements change. Platforms evolve. Threats adapt. Schedules tighten. Budgets don’t magically expand. That’s why our mindset at Simtek is straightforward: Here, nothing is impossible. Not because we ignore constraints—but because we build high-fidelity solutions within them. Built for Change. Designed for Reality. Training equipment isn’t a “one size fits all” product. It’s a constantly moving target shaped by: New tactics and mis

When most people think of Simtek, they think high-fidelity simulated avionics —panels, displays, instruments, and controls that look, feel, and operate like the real OEM hardware. That reputation is earned. But it’s not the whole story. Beyond Avionics Starts With a Simple Question As training systems evolve, our customers are asking for more than cockpit avionics. They’re asking for complete, realistic training environments—equipment that supports real procedures, real workf

Southwest Airlines - 737 When a prime contractor is building or upgrading a 737 full-flight simulator , the avionics inside the cockpit aren’t just “parts.” They’re training-critical components that must survive relentless use, stay consistent across devices, and be supportable for years—often decades. At Simtek , we’ve earned a reputation as the team primes call when they need 737 simulator avionics that hold up in the real world of flight training —where switches get cycled
