Ryan Aerospace (Australia) has achieved the noteworthy milestone of shipping its 500th flight simulator.

From humble beginnings, the company started producing rotary wing simulators in 2005 and later ventured into the fixed wing flight training market. Whilst traditional, certified simulators are part of Ryan’s product offering, virtual and mixed reality technologies have taken the company to the next level.

The US Air Force, US Navy and US Army are the top customers of RYAN AEROSPACE installing hundreds of devices around the US in support of Pilot Training Transformation (PTT) / Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT2.5), Aviator Training Next (ATN) and Fighter Bomber Fundamentals to name just a few.

Managing Director, Chris Ryan was thrilled to reach this milestone and very proud of his small but growing team operating out of its Gold Coast Facility in Australia. However, there was little time to celebrate.

“We’re straight back at it with another seventy or so simulators to go out the door in the next two months”, he said.
