The company is most notable for inventing the Link Trainer, and is credited with starting the flight simulator industry.
The company's Link Trainer saw widespread service as an aircraft simulator during and after World War II.
As a result, Link Aviation became one of the leading manufacturers of aircraft simulators in the world.
In 1954, Link Aviation was purchased by the General Precision Equipment Corporation.
The reincorporated Link Military Simulation Corporation was sold in 1988 to CAE Industries, which became CAE-Link.
