Title : X-29 simulator
Caption :
A view of the X-29 simulator taken in 1995. The pilot - fully enclosed within the simulator - sees the out-the-cockpit views on a video monitor, while the computer system changed the instrument readings according to the pilot's maneuvers and the simulated malfunctions. The X-29 was designed to test swept forward wings, a configuration with aerodynamic advantages, but which lacked practicality until the development of carbon composites.
