ABOUT
LunarPilot is a computer flight simulation of the Lunar
Landing Research Vehicle. The Lunar Landing Research
Vehicle (LLRV) was originally developed by NASA and Bell
Aerosystems in the 1960’s to prepare Apollo Astronauts
for the moon landing.
Unlike many experimental aircraft of this enthralling era,
the LLRV was never intended to represent an aviational
prototype at all. It’s only reason for existence was to
accommodate and familiarize the Apollo astronauts with
the attitudes of a rocket-powered vehicle that flies under
distinctive non-aerodynamic regimes, such as those
experienced during a lunar orbit and the ensuing touchdown.
It is probably the most visionary hardware simulator
ever built.
