 by aviation experts with sophisticated soft- and hardware skills, well proven in the industry. This team of engineers and professional pilots decided to enter the market not in the usual way. Instead of building lower level training devices first and expanding the product range later on, AXIS's first design was already a level D Full Flight Simulator.

2010 The engineering and production departments moved to a new facility in Lebring. This increase in in manufacturing capacity enables the company to manufacture multiple training devices simultaneously. The relocation became necessary with the consecutive orders of two Full Flight Simulators and an accompanying order for a Flat Panel Trainer.
