Global Flight Simulator Market Analysis and Forecast 2026-2032

A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear, cloud, precipitation, etc.

Flight simulators are widely used in pilot training, aircraft design, airborne equipment testing and other applications. The primary purpose of utilization of flight simulator is to train a pilot to achieve, test, and maintain proficiency in the operation of an airplane without risk to person or property and at a lower cost to training in the air.

In its simplest form, a flight simulator system usually includes:
1. A display, or multiple displays, to present visually the external environment.
2. Control devices, such as a yoke or control stick and rudder pedals, to provide control inputs to the simulator.
3. A audio system to produce communications, external, aircraft, and cockpit sounds.
4. A computer system or systems to process control inputs, to digitally generate visual and audio representations in response to those inputs, and to record flight data for analysis.
