VISTA, short for Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft, is changing the face of air power at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
- VISTA, short for Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft, is changing the face of air power at the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
- Built on open systems architecture, VISTA is fitted with software that allows it to mimic the performance characteristics of other aircraft.
- Previously designated NF-16D, in June 2021 VISTA was recognized by the U.S. Air Force and deemed a national asset with a formal redesignation to VISTA X-62A.
- VISTA will continue to serve an integral role in the rapid development of AI and autonomy capabilities for U.S. Air Force.
