Simulation in the Classroom

Elevate Learning with Hands-On Flight Simulation

In a rapidly evolving world, students need dynamic, real-world learning experiences to stay ahead. Simulator-based aviation education delivers immersive, hands-on training that not only engages students but also equips them with critical skills for the aviation workforce. By integrating advanced simulation into your curriculum, you can cultivate confident, workforce-ready leaders prepared to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Preparing Students for Aviation Careers

Give your students a clear path to success in the aviation industry. Our solutions provide the skills, training, and certifications they need to launch a rewarding career.

Learning That Takes Flight

Transform your classroom into an interactive, hands-on environment where students don't just learn concepts—they apply them to real-world aviation scenarios.

The Trusted Industry Standard

Redbird is the global leader in pilot training simulation, trusted by more than 3,000 Flight Training Organizations worldwide to deliver cutting-edge technology that meets the highest standards of aviation education.

Bringing STEM to Life

Aviation is the ultimate STEM learning experience, integrating technology, engineering, and physical sciences in a way that engages students beyond textbooks. With flight simulation, they don’t just learn the principles—they experience them firsthand.

Built for K-12 Classrooms

A K-12 learning environment is unique, and your students aren't paying, adult customers—they're future aviators. That's why we engineered our hardware and software solutions with direct input from educators and K-12 programs, ensuring they are classroom-ready, durable, and student-friendly.
