A modern engineering team. Built for this industry.
Software, hardware, and electronics engineers in one team. A Portuguese company with a clear focus on certifiable, high-fidelity aviation training.
Why we built VOA.aero.
VOA was built around a clear goal: a simulation architecture that is modular, certifiable, and developed entirely in-house — so every layer can evolve without depending on external stacks or timelines.
Our engineering practice builds on long-running simulation programmes. VOA is the platform brand for in-house software, hardware, and electronics, with a clear focus on certifiable training and sovereign integration.
Today we deliver software, hardware, and electronics for high-fidelity aviation training devices, with every layer engineered in-house. We keep that integration tight because it is the only way to maintain the fidelity and update cadence our programmes require.
We think of ourselves as a platform provider rather than a device manufacturer — building the architecture that operators, OEMs, and defence programmes can build on for the long term.
In-house control from material to field support.
Major assemblies and production planning stay in-house, which means shorter loops on spares, retrofits, and field changes.
We machine, integrate, and trace components through the same engineering thread as software and qualification, from raw material where the architecture demands it.
Field response and support are handled by the same engineering teams that designed the device — they understand what they are working on.
Three disciplines. One integrated team.
Simulation engine · Flight dynamics · TDMS · EQTG · Certification documentation
Cockpit panels · Control loading · Structural design · Modularity
PCB design · ARINC 429/AFDX · Instrument interfaces · Custom integration
Where organisations use the platform.
Credentials that matter in certification.
First company to certify a flight simulator in Portugal
Founded 2017 - scaling modular, certifiable simulation for civil and defence training
Multidisciplinary team - software, hardware & electronics under one roof
How we work with customers and regulators.
Collaborating across aviation and beyond.
We work with operators, OEMs, and training organisations worldwide - including initiatives such as Train-By-Wire where programmes align with our modular architecture.
Young. Fast. No shortcuts.
