What Jetline Systems Corporation does

Jetline Systems Corporation is a privately held, Tampa, Florida-based company founded in late 2006 by a Veteran U.S. Air Force Flight Engineer to build high-performance computer systems tailored for the flight simulation community. The company designs and hand-builds purpose-built desktop PCs in three configurations — Gravity GTS ($2,999), Gravity GTX ($2,900), and Gravity AMD ($3,100) — each stability-tested, benchmarked, and 'flight tested' using Microsoft Flight Simulator before shipping. It commits 10–15 hours weekly to R&D on flight simulation hardware and monitors flight sim forums for product development input.

Beyond PCs, Jetline is the exclusive U.S. distributor of Virtual Fly products, offering flight controls (throttle quadrants, rudder pedals, yokes in the $675–$1,320 range), full-motion simulators, and professional visual systems including surround TV, 200-degree cylindrical projection, and visual servers. It also provides FAA-approved training devices for flight schools and university aviation programs, plus JetConnect Remote Support as an included service.

The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce supplemented by phone sales (1.888.695.3854), with no third-party resellers for its PC line. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time hardware sales and peripheral sales. Customer segments are primarily enthusiast/hobbyist flight simmers (described as knowledgeable about both aviation and PC hardware), with secondary segments of actual pilots and flight training institutions. The company holds BBB Accredited Business status and operates exclusively in the U.S. market.
