F-8 Digital Fly-By-Wire display and keyboard from the 1970s. The first fly-by-wire systems were used in the Apollo lunar landers. The technology was later developed for use in aircraft and space shuttles. NASA modified an F-8C jet to be the new Digital Fly-By-Wire (DFBW) research aircraft. This display and keyboard (DSKY) was the same as used in the Apollo mission. It has warning lights at upper left,other displays at upper right,and a keyboard at bottom. As well as this control unit,the system included an inertial platform,a computer,and a cooling system. Photographed in 1996. | |
