Simtek KY-100 M - From Kickoff to Delivery. Great simulated avionics don’t happen by accident—they happen when everyone stays aligned from day one. At Simtek, we treat customer communication as part of the product. The clearer the alignment, the smoother the build, the faster the integration, and the fewer surprises late in the program. That’s why we lean on a structured communication rhythm built around key milestones like: TKO (Technical Kickoff) , PDR (Preliminary Design R

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 . Whether you’re supporting advanced military training or foundational pilot programs, Simtek helps you deliver a true

Making the BUFF Cockpit Feel Real Few aircraft have a legacy like the B-52 . As a long-range, multi-role platform serving decade after decade, the BUFF remains a critical asset for global operations. At Simtek Inc. , we’re proud to support that mission by delivering high-fidelity simulated avionics  tailored specifically for B-52 training environments. From the flight deck of the legendary B-52 to the training center, Simtek’s high-fidelity simulated avionics make the cockpit

https://www.simtekinc.com/projects/t-6-texas When primes build or refresh a T-6 training device, the mission is clear: deliver repeatable, reliable training that produces confident pilots—without losing time to hardware integration surprises, schedule slips, or fidelity gaps. That’s why primes choose Simtek  for T-6 high-fidelity simulated avionics . We design and manufacture simulator-grade control panels, displays, and instruments that help integrators hit performance requi

When a prime contractor is building, upgrading, or sustaining an Airbus A320 full-flight simulator , the “avionics” inside that cockpit aren’t just hardware—they’re training-critical systems that must be durable, consistent, supportable, and integration-ready  for the long haul. At Simtek , we’ve become a trusted partner for primes who need A320 simulator avionics that can withstand intense training cycles , stay stable across fleets, and remain supportable even when legacy c

When you’re buying simulated avionics and cockpit hardware, you’re not just purchasing a part—you’re trusting a supplier to deliver something that will be installed, integrated, and used repeatedly in a training environment where uptime matters. That’s why Simtek welcomes customers to visit our facility for source inspections of final products . We see it as a smart, proactive step that builds confidence, reduces risk, and helps programs stay on schedule. Why On-Site Source I

At Simtek , we manufacture high-fidelity simulated avionics with zero compromise . In the world of professional flight training, “close enough” simply isn’t good enough. Pilots, crews, and customers demand simulators that look, feel, and operate like the real aircraft—and that’s exactly what our hardware is built to deliver. Built for Form, Fit, and Function From control panels and displays  to complex instruments , every Simtek component is engineered for: Form  – Correct ph

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

In commercial aviation, training quality, uptime, and cost control  all have to work together. At Simtek Inc. , we support that balance by delivering high-fidelity simulated avionics for commercial flight training —built to make your simulator feel like the real aircraft. Our simulated control panels, displays, and instruments  are engineered for form, fit, and function , helping airlines, OEMs, and training centers create cockpit environments that pilots recognize instantly.

Why CH-47 Fidelity Matters The CH-47 Chinook is built for demanding missions—heavy lift, sling load operations, shipboard and austere environments, NVG operations, and complex crew coordination. When a training device doesn’t feel right, crews notice. Small mismatches in switch feel, annunciation behavior, lighting, or panel layout can undermine training value and increase integration risk. Prime contractors aren’t just buying parts—they’re buying fidelity, schedule confidenc

In the training world, when a simulator goes down, it might as well be an AOG event . Instructors, students, crews, and schedules are all impacted until that device is back online. At Simtek, we take simulator uptime seriously. That’s why we stock critical components  specifically to support AOG-style simulator repairs —so when something fails, you’re not waiting months for a replacement. Treating Simulator Downtime Like AOG An aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situation demands fast

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

When your simulator is down, training stops —and so does your schedule, your throughput, and your revenue. Long lead times, slow responses, and vague ETAs can turn a minor issue into a major problem. That’s why at Simtek , we put a huge emphasis on one thing:👉 Keeping your simulator up and running. Does your vendor prioritize your simulator's uptime? For us, the answer is yes —backed by a dedicated Service Department  focused on quick, high-quality repairs. A Dedicated Servi

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

At Simtek , we don’t just react to where training is today—we build for where it’s going next . Simtek innovates today for tomorrow’s simulated avionics platforms. As aircraft evolve, missions become more complex, and training demands increase, simulators need hardware that can keep up. That’s why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of high-fidelity simulated avionics  for both military  and commercial  platforms. From Next-Gen Fighters to Commercial Trainers Whether you’
