No. 5

With simulator cabin lights out, we obtain an eerie view of Lockheed-Georgia's Pilot's Desk Flight Station. This is one of three such research facilities to be used for advanced aeronautical studies and for the testing of some cockpit instrumentation. Five cathode ray tube (CRT) displays are provided; touch panels are used to control some of the presentations when needed by the crew. Bulky control columns have been replaced by side-arm controllers, which would accompany future fly-by-wire or fly-by-light control systems.
