Title : F-8 Iron Bird Cockpit
Caption :
The F-8 DFBW (Digital-Fly-By-Wire) simulator used an ''Iron-Bird'' for its cockpit. It was used from 1971 to 1986. The F-8 DFBW simulator was used in the development, testing, and validation of an all digital flight-control system installed in the F-8 aircraft that replaced the normal mechanical/hydraulic controls. Many military and commercial aircraft have digital flight control systems based on the technologies developed at NASA Dryden.
