Company story
Meridian GMT
Flight controls that grow with your cockpit. Founded by Nicki Repenning, who started at Saitek and went on to build Honeycomb Aeronautical.
Hardware shaped by the people who fly it.
Meridian GMT started with a simple goal: modular flight controls that grow with your cockpit, without professional-simulator prices.
We care about the practical things: how the parts fit together, which sims and platforms each product works with, and clear pre-order terms. A lot of the direction comes straight from simmers we meet at events and in our community.

Why it matters
A realistic home cockpit should not cost as much as a professional simulator. Start with one piece, then add yoke heads, throttle configurations, mounts, and panels as your flying changes.
Before you buy, we tell you what is in the box, what is sold separately, and which platforms each product supports.
