Fight Simulators – A Safer Way to Test Close Captioned In this NASA video segment explore how flight simulators are one of the most effective tools for pilots and engineers to experminent on aircraft. NASA flight simulators are designed as exact replica of aircrafts enabling engineers to run tests and experiments without risking pilot safety. This segment discusses nasa’s use of flight simulators when developing new engineering concepts. NASA flight simulators are also compared to other flight simulators.
Great classic plane livery shots. Close Captioned. This NASA segment focuses on the importance of air travel in todays society. Currently, over 600 million people travel on airplanes and it is expected that over a billion people will use air transportation in the near future.
