Draft:Ruggles Orientator

The Ruggles Orientator is an early flight simulator used to train aviators during The First World War, invented by William Guy Ruggles. It consists of a seat mounted within a gimbal ring assembly that enabled full rotation of the pupil in all three axes and in addition provided vertical movement.

Amelia Earhart used one at The New York Air Show, New York.

It can be seen in use during the training scenes in Wings (1927 film).
