Edwin Albert Link (July 26, 1904 – September 7, 1981) [1] was an American inventor, entrepreneur and pioneer in aviation, underwater archaeology, and submersibles. He invented the flight simulator, which was called the "Blue Box" or "Link Trainer". It was commercialized in 1929, starting a now multibillion-dollar industry.
MB-5 – Flight simulator for the F-102A [14] MB-42 – Flight simulator for the F-106A [14] ME-1 – Basic jet instrument flight trainer. Developed from the T-37 cockpit. [15] P-1 – Constructed from a T-6G cockpit and mounted on a modified C-8 base. [16] A slightly modified version was known as the 1-CA-2 by the U.S. Navy. [17] [18] [19] T-4 ...
Link Trainer at Freeman Field, Seymour, Indiana. Freeman Field was a US Army Air Force field in World War II. Link and his company had struggled through the Depression years, but after gaining Air Corps interest the business expanded rapidly and during World War II, the AN-T-18 Basic Instrument Trainer, known to tens of thousands of fledgling pilots as the "Blue Box" (although it was painted ...
For aircraft, this type of trainer often has a complex terrain database, a wide-angle high-resolution visual system and a high computer capacity, so that weapons work can be practised, recorded, and debriefed. Because of the compromises necessary with a large angle visual system, older WSTs tended not to have a motion platform. [1]
List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE.The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.
Five link trainers are in storage at the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility of the National Air and Space Museum in Suitland, Maryland: including a model AN-T-18, a 1946 "Model F, C-8", a "pilot maker" from 1930, and a modified 1986 GAT-1 general aviation trainer.
Battle Force Tactical Training or BFTT (pronounced "bee-fit") (Navy designation AN/USQ-T46) is a highly flexible, interactive single ship, group, or force level tactical combat system trainer in the US military. The purpose of BFTT is to "provide training to enhance naval combat readiness."
The new Type 7 Full Flight Simulator will be the old Level D with enhancements in a number of areas including motion, visual and Communications/air traffic simulations. A Level D/Type 7 simulator simulates all aircraft systems that are accessible from the flight deck and are critical to training.
