The 1947 Curtiss-Wright Electronic Trainer for Pan Am


Conceived by Dr. R. C. Dehmel and developed after years of research and engineering by Curtiss-Wright, the electronic trainer offers the most complete training equipment available to airline operators.

Engineered and built to rigorous specifications it duplicates the flight stations of new airliners to exact detail. The trainer "flies" like an airplane simulating accurately the airliners' flight performance. Engine starting procedure is the same. All instruments react as in flight and the feel of all controls is realistic. Noises of the actual airplane are reproduced. 

It simulates accurately and automatically all existing radio-navigational aids. Unusual flight conditions can be simulated without danger to crew—failure of one or more engines in takeoff or in flight—failure of control boost, etc. 

Extensive service tests have proved that the Electronic 'Rainer can be operated at unusually low maintenance costs. 

Backed by the Oldest Names in Aviation, the Curtiss-Wright Electronic Trainer contributes to more thorough flight training— reduces training flight time and costs—avoids unnecessary tie-up of flight equipment for training purposes.
