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

Because legacy doesn’t mean obsolete. It means proven—and still mission-critical. 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 the standard, Simtek cut its teeth designing and manufacturing precision analog gauges —the backbone of early military and commercial aircraft instrumentation. Those early days didn’t just define where we started, they

Trusted by Primes and Customers Around the Globe When it comes to high-fidelity simulation of the legendary F-16 Fighting Falcon, precision is not optional—it’s mission critical. For decades, Simtek  has delivered world-class simulated avionics solutions that meet the demanding standards of military primes, integrators, and training organizations across more than 40 countries. From detailed cockpit panels to fully integrated shipsets, Simtek sets the benchmark for realism, re

Simtek, Inc. F-18 Simulated Avionics High-fidelity where it matters most The F/A-18 Hornet is an unforgiving environment—fast-paced mission sets, dense cockpit workflows, and training that demands realism. When your simulator is used to build habits that carry into live flight, the “feel” of the cockpit isn’t cosmetic—it’s operational. At Simtek, Inc., we design and manu facture simulated avionics that help customers deliver credible, repeatable training  for F/A-18 aircrews

Simtek, Inc - T6 Control Panel In the world of flight simulation and advanced training, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Every com ponent must perform flawlessly to create an immersive and effective training environment. This is why tailored control solutions are essential. They provide the exact functionality and durability required for hig h-stakes training scenarios. Off-the-shelf products often fall short in meeting these demands. Off-the-shelf products often

At Simtek , we build high-fidelity simulated avionics that scale from frontline fighters to everyday general aviation trainers. Our mission is clear: to provide the most realistic training tools available. From F-35 mission trainers to Cessna primary flight schools, our hardware is designed so your simulator looks, feels, and operates like the real cockpit .
