B23 prototype
The B23 prototype simulator being tested by Peter, the manufacturer’s chief pilot.
CUSTOM SIMULATORS
Bespoke simulation projects.
Engineered from concept to reality.
We design and deliver custom simulation systems for certified training, museums, education, enthusiasts, TV & film, themed rides and specialist mission platforms.
Simworx combines in-house CAD, software development, production engineering, prototyping and final manufacture with practical experience across mixed reality, LED visual systems, projection and motion platforms. We are engineers first — and passionate about simulation and training in all its forms.
- Certified training platforms
- Museums & education
- Enthusiast & entertainment
- TV & film support
- MR / LED / Projection
- Motion systems
What we take on
From one-off enthusiast builds to specialist training devices and public-facing installations, we scope, engineer and deliver the right simulator around the purpose — not the other way around.
Training & CertificationQualification-ready and non-certified platforms for flight training, procedural training and recurrent use.
Museums & EducationInteractive exhibits and training platforms that make aviation accessible and engaging.
Entertainment & RidesImmersive experiences for attractions, public venues and commercial entertainment centres.
Engineering & Special MissionsBespoke mission systems, controls, avionics replicas and unusual one-off development work.
How we build a project
Every custom simulator follows a structured delivery path so the customer can clearly see how the concept moves into an engineered, buildable and supportable product.
- Concept & brief — define the use case, users, fidelity and experience level.
- Research & reference capture — gather aircraft, systems, dimensions and operational references.
- Engineering design — CAD, software planning, visual-system choice and hardware architecture.
- Prototype & prove-out — validate controls, layout, software and key technical risks early.
- Production engineering — convert the concept into repeatable manufacturing and assembly data.
- Final build, integration & delivery — assemble, test, commission and support the finished simulator.
In-house capability
We don’t just assemble bought-in parts. We develop complete simulator solutions with the blend of engineering, software and production knowledge needed to finish unusual and technically demanding projects.
- In-house CAD and mechanical development
- Programming and simulator software integration
- Production engineering and manufacturing definition
- Rapid prototyping and iterative development
- Final production, integration and commissioning
- Mixed reality, LED screen, projection and motion integration
Our process, clearly outlined
The aim is simple: remove guesswork, keep the project moving and make sure the finished simulator matches the brief technically, visually and operationally.
1
DISCOVERDefine the aircraft, mission, market and desired training or entertainment outcome.
2
DESIGNCreate the simulator architecture, cockpit design, visuals approach and hardware plan.
3
DEVELOPBuild software elements, electronics, control interfaces and bespoke subsystems.
4
PROTOTYPETrial key elements early so performance, usability and manufacturability are proven.
5
PRODUCEMove into production engineering, fabrication, assembly and full system integration.
6
DELIVERTest, commission, install and support the simulator in its final operating environment.
The Concorde project
Simworx is also responsible for building a fully operational Concorde simulator — a project that says a great deal about the depth of engineering, systems integration and specialist simulation knowledge we bring to complex work.
It is the clearest proof that unusual, ambitious and technically demanding projects are exactly where we are most comfortable.
Aircraft programmes & complete platforms
Examples of aircraft programmes, prototype devices and complete simulator platforms that show the breadth of work undertaken by Simworx.
Prototype

Military
AV-8B Harrier training platform
A specialist military training device developed around realistic controls, practical cockpit geometry and bespoke subsystem work.
Entertainment
Vulcan bomber cockpit
A networked Vulcan bomber experience cockpit developed for a themed entertainment-centre application.
Panels, stations & specialist hardware
A significant part of our work sits in the detailed engineering of cockpit structures, subsystem panels, control units and specialist avionics replicas.
Airliner
787 main instrument panel
Structural and panel-development work supporting large transport-category cockpit projects.
Military
AV-8B training MFDs
Replica AV-8B multifunction displays developed for specialist training use.
Military
AV-8B landing gear panel
Purpose-built subsystem hardware produced as part of a wider tactical training platform.
Entertainment
Vulcan bomber side panel
Purposely finished to look old and heavily used for the atmosphere of an experience-centre installation.
Entertainment
Vulcan bomber throttle unit
Custom throttle hardware created to complement the wider Vulcan simulator environment.
Concorde
Concorde engineer’s station
One of the specialist stations developed as part of the wider Concorde simulator programme.
Cockpit bulkheads, cabins & interiors
Beyond full simulators, we also develop structural add-ons, cabin sections and interior elements for training, attractions and specialist project work.
STRUCTURES
Cockpit bulkheads and cabin sections
Modular structures, bulkheads and cabin components produced as add-ons for wider programmes, themed installations and training devices.
Other development work
Not every project fits neatly into a complete simulator. We also design and manufacture the supporting hardware, electronics and software needed to make unusual simulation projects credible and usable.
Cabin & frame projects
Mock cabin sections for entertainment and training, plus frame development including the 787, H145 helicopter and PA28.
Replica panels & avionics
F-16 MFDs, G3X avionics, AV-8B MFDs and panels, G1000 systems and GCU 476 development.
Specialist software
Concorde INS systems and many other software products, including solutions displayed elsewhere on this website.
