-1- Abstract The invention relates to a flight simulator comprising at least one element whose position is variable during the flight, such as a control-member e.g. a control- column, an associated, programmable servo-means coupled with the or each element, said means comprising an ampli- fier, a servo-motor coupled with the output thereof, a force to electric signal converter arranged between said servo-motor and said element and having its output coupled with a first input of said amplifier, a position to electric signal converter arranged on said element and having its output coupled with a second input of said amplifier and a computer calculating a force associated with the condi- tion of said element on the basis of the flight conditions and the relevant properties of the or each element and applying a corresponding signal to the amplifier. The flight simulator according to the inven- tion provides a perfectly faithful simulation of all practi- cal systems without imposing limitations to the order of the system to be simulated. Thereto the simulator according to the invention is characterized in that the computer is coupled with the amplifier through an electric analogon representing the mechanical properties of the element concer- ned.
