from outside it looks like any other 737
could tell you that from his perspective
it also performs routinely when he gets
to fly it behind him in this plane
within the plane there's another were

helping solve many problems plaguing

relative to his planned flight back the
computer display star is called

the system offers a more precise way of
flying greater precision means enhanced
fuel efficiency and safety since this

flying 20 hours are spent in this
simulator testing and redesigning to
ensure feasibility another side of the
eight tops research effort has to do to
the air traffic control system using
sophisticated computer protocol
NASA engineers are developing a way for
controllers to better regulate aircraft

like this could avoid costly delays and
