ABOUT  US

the  technology...

new  stuff...

  • Crew coordination between pilot and CPG, developing the division of tasks, cross-checks, and shared situational awareness that a real Apache crew depends on
  • Multi-ship tactics, training crews to operate as part of a flight rather than in isolation
  • Communication under mission conditions, with other aircraft in the flight and with ground, air, and sea entities involved in the scenario
  • Coordinated engagement of a shared threat picture, built through repetition that would otherwise require significant live flying hours to achieve

about  us...

For more than twenty years, RYAN AEROSPACE has been redefining how the world trains its pilots.


Headquartered on the Gold Coast, Australia, we are a global designer and manufacturer of advanced flight training systems. By harnessing emerging technologies such as virtual and mixed reality, we deliver training devices at scale that occupy a fraction of the footprint and cost of traditional simulators, without compromising on fidelity or realism.


RYAN AEROSPACE is recognised internationally as a pioneer and leader in immersive flight simulation. More than 700 of our systems are in service worldwide with some of the most demanding operators in aviation, including the US Army, US Air Force, US Navy and US Marine Corps, the Australian Army, the Royal Australian Navy and NATO, as well as industry leaders such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky, Airbus Helicopters and CAE.


End-to-end capability, under one roof


What sets RYAN AEROSPACE apart is our vertically integrated approach. Every stage of development is managed in-house, giving our customers greater control over quality, schedule and cost:


  • Systems design and engineering - from concept through to certified, deployable training solutions for fixed wing and rotary wing platforms.
  • Avionics and cockpit design - high-fidelity replica avionics, instrument panels and custom switch panels engineered to match the look, feel and function of the real aircraft.
  • Advanced manufacturing - in-house Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing enables rapid prototyping and production of durable, flight-accurate components with exceptional precision and short lead times.
  • Quality control - rigorous inspection and testing at every stage ensures each system meets the exacting standards our military and civil customers expect.
  • Through-life support - dedicated support, maintenance and upgrades throughout the life of every system we deliver.


Certified quality


RYAN AEROSPACE is certified to ISO 9001:2015, reflecting our commitment to consistent, repeatable quality across design, manufacture and support.


Shaping the future of flight training


From military mission trainers to civil pilot training devices, RYAN AEROSPACE continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in simulation, helping our customers train more pilots, more safely and more cost-effectively than ever before.
