![Moog Inc. custom-built a set of 10 hydraulic carts to meet the needs of Armstrong Flight Research Center’s Flight Loads Laboratory, reducing the amount of cables and hoses in the lab, creating a more flexible setup, and bringing test operations into the digital age. The company now offers the carts, along with the accompanying Real-Time Front-End computer, for sale to commercial aircraft testing facilities.

![An aircraft with a T-tail empennage in normal flight (top) versus when it’s in a deep stall condition, whereby the wake created by the stalled wings blanket the T-tail, preventing normal recovery. One of NASA Langley Research Center’s goals for its PTERA Generic Modular Aircraft T-Tail, or GMA-TT, is to flight-test stalls and recovery maneuvers in order to improve simulators used for pilot training.

![NASA has been working with Dimension Technologies Inc. on the development of a 2D/3D switchable display that could be used to help pilots better understand their position relative to other planes in the sky. This NASA flight simulator, where the display will be tested before it becomes available for use in commercial airliners, shows how the displays might be positioned.
