Link built a model of an airplane cockpit equipped with instrument panel and controls that could realistically simulate all the movements of an airplane. By then, airplane instrumentation had been developed sufficiently to permit “blind” flying on instruments alone, but training pilots to do so involved considerable risk. Link, a self-educated aviator and inventor from Binghamton, New York. It took until 1929, however, for a truly effective simulator, the Link Trainer, to appear, devised by Edwin A. They were designed to enable pilots to simulate simple aircraft maneuvers in three dimensions: nose up or down left wing high and right low, or vice versa and yawing to left or right. Two early flight simulators appeared in England within a decade after the first flight of Orville and Wilbur Wright. Simulation also is useful for review and for familiarizing pilots with new modifications to existing craft. The purpose of simulation is not to completely substitute for actual flight training but to thoroughly familiarize students with the vehicle concerned before they undergo expensive and possibly dangerous actual flight training.
