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-to-aircraft experience.
From F-35 simulated avionics to everyday Cessna trainers, our high-fidelity avionics make your simulator look, feel, and operate like the real deal.
One Partner, Many Platforms
Training organizations rarely operate just one type of device or one type of aircraft. That’s why our portfolio spans:
5th-generation fighters like the F-35
Legacy and 4th-generation platforms
Rotary-wing and special mission aircraft
Commercial airliners and regional jets
General aviation trainers like Cessna and similar platforms
By supporting such a broad range of aircraft types, Simtek helps you standardize on a trusted avionics hardware partner across your entire simulator ecosystem. This standardization simplifies training processes and enhances the overall experience.
Cockpit Configurations: Virtually Limitless
No two cockpits are the same—and no two programs have identical requirements. With Simtek, your cockpit configurations are virtually limitless:
Custom control panels tailored to your platform and software
Displays sized, labeled, and integrated to match real-world avionics
Instruments for both analog and glass cockpit environments
Flexible layouts for full-flight sims, FTDs, part-task trainers, and desktop devices
If it’s in the cockpit, we can help you simulate it with confidence—whether you’re replicating an advanced sensor control panel or a basic trainer switch cluster.
With Simtek, your cockpit configurations are virtually limitless—if it flies, we can help you simulate it.
Real Feel, Real Training Value
Fidelity isn’t just about how hardware looks—it’s about how it feels and behaves. We focus on the details that matter:
Switches and knobs with the right tactile feedback
Backlighting and labeling that match operational aircraft
Logical form, fit, and function that support accurate procedures
This attention to detail helps pilots and crews build muscle memory, run realistic checklists, and transition more smoothly from simulator to aircraft.
Enhancing Training Outcomes
Our commitment to realism extends beyond hardware. We understand that effective training requires more than just accurate equipment. It demands an environment where trainees can practice under conditions that closely mimic real-world scenarios.
By integrating our high-fidelity avionics into your training programs, you can enhance the learning experience. Trainees will gain confidence and competence, which translates into better performance in actual flight situations.
Confidence for Military and Civil Training
Whether you’re running:
Military mission rehearsal and high-end tactical training
Airline and ATO (Approved Training Organization) programs
Flight school syllabi for new pilots
Simtek hardware is built to deliver repeatable, reliable performance so your training teams can stay focused on outcomes—not on whether the hardware will hold up.
If your simulator needs to mirror the real aircraft—from F-35 to Cessna and everything in between—Simtek is ready to help you build high-fidelity, confidence-inspiring cockpit solutions.
