Queensland Premier’s Export Award Goes to Sim Innovator

RYAN AEROSPACE (AUSTRALIA) has taken out the coveted Queensland Premier’s Export Award in the Advanced Technologies Category.

RYAN AEROSPACE has had recent success with the US military, but markets have also increased in Europe and Asia; especially with new products leveraging the power of virtual and mixed reality technologies.

“The face of simulation and training is changing dramatically and our products are part of a disruptive move to train helicopter and jet fighter pilots more safely and at a much lower cost,” said Managing Director of RYAN AEROSPACE, Chris Ryan.

Almost 600 simulators have been shipped from the Gold Coast-based business, mostly to the US Air Force, Navy and Army.

This win makes RYAN AEROSPACE an automatic finalist in the National Awards with winners announced at a Gala event in Canberra later this year.

RYAN AEROSPACE was also a finalist in the Manufacturing and Advanced Materials category as well as the Small Business category.

Ryan said he was “delighted to take out this prestigious award” giving credit to his small but growing team. “It’s recognition of many years of hard work, persistence and a yearning desire to continue innovating,” he added.
