 Flight Simulators ====Flight Simulators are a replica of Airplanes that move just like an aircraft. They are made up of four Hardware components, which are ==== The instruments that are used for the simulator reads the position of the simulator and information about the characteristics of the aircraft that it is modeled after. Simulators allow people to experience every aspect of a flight except for the acceleration of the flight.
 * a working replica of the inside of the cockpit of the aircraft
 * computers
 * projectors
 * screens

Flight simulators may come in different forms they can be on PC laptops or they can come in a form in which the simulator is an actual replica of a cockpit of a replica.

was aircraft manufactured by Airbus. It was bought in the market on the 28th March 1988. Now over 3000 of these aircrafts have been built.
 * The Airbus 320**



It first went into production in May 1983. In 1992 they had improved the engines for the flight simulator; this new and improved jet had changed the name of the simulator to Avro RJ
 * The BAe 146**




 * The Boeing** is also another type of simulator called the Boeing 737 it was launched in 1968. It is a short term medium jetliner. The Boeing 737 is the most popular commercial airliner around the world.

====**The dash 8** also another type of simulator, it is a twin engine turboprop which was introduced in 1984. It is known as the Q series or the quiet series due to the adding of active noise and vibration suppression. There are currently 800 dash 8 aircrafts that are in service.====




 * The Embraer 120**.

Design was announced in 1983. this aircraft has twin fuselage mountain- engines and a t-tail. Fuel tanks were later added it its wings in order to add range.
it has a flight crew of 2 and a seating of 80-120 people.



**King Air**
====this simulator was the first aircraft in its class to that has never stopped its production since the year of 1964. there 31,000 and more of these aircrafts around the world and it has managed to outsell all it's competitors.====

====The first time that it had flown was on the 25th January as a joint partnership with Fairchild Aircraft. compared to other aircrafts this aircraft had a larger stabilizer and more powerful engine. the aircraft has 32 to 36 seats.====
 * SAAB 340**



Metro III/23
====This aircraft was developed in 1965 with its idea originating from the Queen air, but only with new wings, and inverting engine nucleus, and new landing gear, different and mount and a longer nose.this aircraft is able to hold 19 passengers.====

End Users
====There are several uses for flight simulators as they can be of use to people who are training to become pilots as these simulators would let them be able to commence with their training in a safe manner but at the same time give them the experience that they would need in order to fly a real airplane, this is mainly because flight simulators are a copy of aircraft flights. they would give the user a feel of the environment that would naturally surround them for example air density, turbulence, cloud and precipitation====

====Although training pilots is a big use of the simulator it however was not the only use, another use of these flight simulators were to help design and develop an actual aircraft, this had given designers the ability to research aircraft characteristics.====

Issues
====The ethical issues that would be tied with flight simulators would all come down to the design as there will always be a risk that people may steal the design of your flight simulator, this is something that is illegal as it violates the intellectual's property rights. This right states that the person that has produced the work or is in charge of doing whatever they wish to do with the work, by stealing their design you also end up taking away that right from them.==== ====Another Ethical Issue that is involved with this is downloading as you are able to download some flight simulators, however you are only able to download the flight simulators that are able to come on PC computers. by downloading this simulator you are classified as stealing it as you have not paid for something that is not your work.====
