be "florin" on the ground in a large<br />

information can be gained far more<br />
cheaply than by building a prototype<br />
aircraft to test each proposed<br />

can often be obtained by flight<br />
simulator aircraft.<br />
Like a grouna-nased simulator,<br />
the X-14B can duplicate the flight<br />
maneuvers of a wide range of aircraft.<br />
Since it can fly, its movements<br />
are not artifically restricted,<br />
and it can more realistically duplicate<br />
the piloting qualities of new<br />
airplanes.
