About us: Innovation & leadership
CAE is a world leader in providing simulation and modeling technologies and integrated training solutions for the civil aviation industry and defence forces around the globe. The company employs over 7,500 people in over 20 countries.
What’s a simulator?
CAE is recognized worldwide for its flight simulators intended for pilot training. A flight simulator is a highly precise and realistic replica of a cockpit associated with a high-fidelity visual system that reproduces various flight scenarios. Pilots can therefore practise taking off and landing as well as various emergency situations in complete safety, without ever leaving the ground. We design and build simulators for several different types of aircraft, from the largest (like the Airbus 380 and the C-130J Hercules) to the smallest (business jets) and for helicopters.
Through our global network of 29 civil aviation and military training centres, we proudly train more than 75,000 crew members yearly. Most airline pilots throughout the world are trained on flight simulators manufactured by CAE. We also supply the armed forces of over 50 nations with training products and services.
