Pt. 2 of 2
John Fitch standing on wing of F5D speaks to camera; wing modified to shape of delta wing supersonic transport.
11:18:43 F5D in flight testing wing shape w/ water vapor showing patterns.
11:19:08 XB70 taking off; in-flight used as test airplane. Landing w/ drag parachutes.
11:20:36 First Boeing 707 landing, now used as test plane for supersonic configurations.
11:21:26 Robert Shay,Langley Research Center interviewed about testing landing configurations w/ computers onboard. Beak or boom added to the 707 explained. Talk about evaluating how plane will fly.
11:25:14 Seth Anderson, Chief of Flight & Simulation Branch at Ames. talking about ground based simulators used in testing characteristics of SST flight. Camera moved over landscape in another building shown which is projected in front of pilot. Test shown & explained of flight approach & landing.
