Honeycomb

Based in San Diego CA, Honeycomb Aeronautical was founded in 2015 with the sole goal of creating and providing affordable flight simulation hardware.

Honeycomb wanted to focus on creating a modern look while staying true to actual cockpit designs. Honeycomb added functions that are important in a flight sim environment like extra buttons and hat-switches, so more programmable features and assignments are available. Honeycomb also created a table mounting system that doesn’t require any clamps onto the table and can be used on most table and desk surfaces. The mechanical engineering for the Yoke was handled by Precision Flight Controls who have more than 25 years of experience in creating high-end flight simulators for the professional aviation industry. By using existing components that have been evolutionally developed and tested over many decades, it ensured us that Honeycomb would have the right feel and mechanical quality.

Honeycomb founder, Nicki Repenning has more than 10 years of experience in flight simulation, including 6 years of managing the Saitek Pro Flight Brand in North America. He has a detailed understanding of the needs and requirements of both flight simmers as well as pilots and flight students, through his involvement in all facets of the product development process of flight simulation equipment.

Nicki holds a pilot’s license and has had the pleasure of flying a great number of different aircrafts, giving him a unique knowledge of what flight simulation products should look and feel like.
