ABOUT US

WHO ARE WE?
AXIS is the next generation flight simulation solutions provider and innovator. Our flight training devices set a new benchmark in availability and efficiency, and offer the most realistic possible simulation experience.
WE ARE THE INNOVATORS
As engineers, we always ask ourselves if there is a better way to make flight training systems. And very often there is. We developed our own control loading system for higher fidelity and lower power consumption. Our Smart Panels replicate the functions and appearance of original instruments, but cost less and are much more durable. Instead of a forest of cables, we design our simulators to use just a few I/O buses. Our TMCS system drastically reduces maintenance time and effort. Our Rehost platform tremendously simplifies flight simulation software management. The list could go on.
As a flight training technology innovator, we create new approaches that make simulators more realistic, more reliable, easier to use, more cost-effective and more maintenance-efficient – and thus more profitable to operate.
Innovation is nothing without quality, and AXIS products, from flat panels to full flight simulators, are built here in Austria to the highest standards, as documented by ISO 9001-2015 certification.

AXIS Flight Simulation corporate Responsibility: Beyond Carbon Neutrality - We take Carbon Emission Responsibility seriously across our company.
As the conversation around climate change continues to dominate the news, social media and dinner tables, many production companies have set goals to help combat their impact.
So have we. At our factory in Austria we set ourselves the goal of reaching CO2-neutrality in 2021 – and we achieved it! We have remained carbon-neutral since then.
CO2-neutrality remains a distant goal for many companies, but we have already taken steps to go beyond it. We partner with Azzera to do more in the effort to save the climate.
