Flight simulator manufacturer Frasca International is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. The company was founded by Rudy Frasca in 1958 and remains a privately held, family-run business. Over the past six decades, it has supplied flight simulation equipment for hundreds of flight schools worldwide, delivering more than 2,600 units to approximately 70 countries.

In 2017, Frasca delivered its first Level 7 Helicopter FTD with Frasca Motion Cueing System (FMCS). It is currently launching a new lower priced helicopter training device to meet customer need.
