USAF Test Pilot School / Calspan VISTA F-16 With Adaptive Flight Controls?

This test is apparently still in the planning stages, but it shows an important point about testing in today's austere environment. The TPS students are not just learning how to test, they are learning by doing, and are often producing results that are useful to paying customers. Of course, the folks at NASA Armstrong have been demonstrating this kind of system for several years, but this one may have some added potential. We will have to wait until the fall to find out.
