Flight simulator

A flight simulator is a system that tries to replicate, or simulate, the experience of flying an airplane as closely and realistically as possible. The different types of flight simulator range from video games up to fullsize cockpit replicas mounted on hydraulic (or electromechanical) actuators, controlled by state of the art computer technology.
