The General Dynamics X-62 VISTA is the latest update to one of the most unique experimental aircraft models in the world, with groundbreaking pieces of technology that make it capable of performing stunts no other aircraft of its kind can achieve.
Derived from the F-16 Fighting Falcon, its VISTA acronym comes from Variable Stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft. Although coupling the terms “In-flight“ and “Simulator“ may sound counterintuitive, this is one of the few aircraft in the world that can be configured to simulate being any other airplane in the world.
Its impressive simulation capabilities thus make it the ultimate pilot training instrument, as it can be programmed to behave as a massive B-52 heavy bomber or a nimble HAL Tejas light fighter.
Making the experimental aircraft even more revolutionary is its recent inclusion in the US Air Force Skyborg program, which seeks to explore possible military applications of sophisticated artificial intelligence systems for autonomous combat air vehicles.
Consequently, the X-62 VISTA has been dismantled to incorporate an advanced AI computer system, and it now single-handedly possesses more state-of-the-art aviation technology than some countries’ entire air forces.
Furthermore, the aircraft is poised to become the world’s first combat-capable pilotless aircraft, changing the way air warfare is fought forever…
