North America Flight Simulator Market

North America Flight Simulator Market Analysis Report (2021 - 2026)

The North America Flight Simulator Market is anticipated to grow in a significant way during the forecast period. It is estimated that the target market in this region is growing at a CAGR of around 4.26%.

A flight simulator is a technology that can artificially re-create the aircraft flight experience to assist in pilot training, design, or other purposes. This procedure includes duplicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, reaction to the flight controls applications and external factors such as air density, turbulence, wind shear, precipitation, cloud, etc., and, the effects of other aircraft systems. This flight simulation technology is utilized for a variety of reasons which includes the design & development of the aircraft itself, and the research into aircraft characteristics & qualities of control handling.

The growth of the North America flight simulator market is attributed to the factors like beneficial rules and regulations in defense, and the accessibility of advanced commercial and military infrastructure in the countries that are in this region.

Recent Developments

• L3Harris Technologies, an American technology company, defense contractor and information technology services provider that produces flight simulators has announced that they have signed a definitive agreement under which American Holoptics, an affiliate of Koucar Management, will acquire the EOTech business.

• Lockheed Martin Corporation's business unit, Sikorsky, has selected by the US army to build prototype aircraft for its Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program for replacing the army's AH-65 Apache and OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters. 

Drivers and Restraints of North America Flight Simulator Market

The high demand for these flight simulators in the countries like US and Canada, which is led by global technological advancements and military expenditure is the primary driver for the growth of the North America Flight Simulator Market. Also, the early adoption of the latest promotions by manufacturers and consumers, availability of advanced military and commercial infrastructure is expected to bolster the growth of the flight simulator market in North America.

However, the apprehensions about air safety, coupled with the strict air safety standards enforced by the FAA in the US are estimated to decrease the adoption of this technology.
