X-62 VISTA completes first flight test VSS

The X-62 VISTA (Variable In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft) successfully completed it's first flight test of the new VISTA Simulation System (VSS) at Edwards Air Force Base, California, Sept. 20. The VSS is instrumental in the process to get the aircraft and it's simulation systems operational to begin testing the VISTA's System for Autonomous Control Simulation (SACS) in the coming months. The VISTA's successful flight is a direct reflection on the long hours of work by the Calspan, Lockheed Martin ADP, and USAF Test Pilot School development and test teams.
