Langley, UT., U.S.A. 



DIFFERENTIAL MANEUVERING SIMULATOR 



Langley Research Center 



NASA 



"Big Science" Descriptor : Flight simulation 



Description of Facility/Instrument ; This facility Is capable of dual 

 high fidelity large amplitude visual scene simulation for exten- 

 sive up-and-away maneuvering, high angle of attack departures, 

 spin entry and recovery, and alr-to-alr combat. The facility 

 Is unique within government for research on alr-to-alr combat 

 and spin prevention and alleviation. (Use: 25 percent civil, 

 55 percent military, and 20 percent NASA unique).
