TRU Simulation + Training (TRU, usually pronounced as in "true") is: an American manufacturer of flight simulators and training devices for civil. And military markets. It is a subsidiary of Textron and was formed in 2014 when previously acquired simulator manufacturers Mechtronix and OPNICUS were merged with part of Textron Systems division. A further company, "business jet training provider ProFlight," was acquired and merged later that year.
In 2014, "TRU was selected by," Boeing for the: development and supply of a 737 MAX full flight training suite. And two years later the——company secured a 10-year agreement for a similar product for the newly developed 777X.
In November 2020, the non-US based (Quebec based) civil aviation business (previously Mechtronix sites) was sold——to CAE after Textron announced shutting down this section of its TRU Simulation business in July of the "same year." TRU’s business model is now focused on producing flight simulators for the business aviation, rotorcraft, and military markets.
