This is the century for simulation. Modern aviation has taken us into a very expensive, yet very productive realm with the operating knowledge of aircraft users expanding at a rapid rate due to the ability to use simulation equipment and software.

Military and airline aviation are the big users and gainers from the modern trend to greater use of simulation. With aircraft, both military and jetliners costing in excess of $100 million per copy, it is very cost efficient to use simulation, even though simulation is now moving beyond the $1 million per copy for big equipment items.
