Link Trainer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Link Trainer or "pilot maker" was created in the mid-1930s out of the need for a safe way to teach new pilots how to fly by Instrument Flight Rules. It was created by former organ builder Edwin Albert Link, who used his knowledge of pumps, valves and bellows to create a flight simulator that responded to the pilot's controls and gave an accurate reading on the included avionics.
