Saturn Flight Simulator is developing a patented flight-training simulator built around unrestricted 360-degree yaw, pitch and roll rotation, plus linear heave motion. Based in Hicksville, New York, the company is in the engineering and architecture phase for a prototype intended to reproduce flight paths that conventional simulator designs cannot. Its planned system is configurable from light single-engine aircraft through heavy multi-engine and combat-training applications, with FAA and other agency certification being pursued.
