Automatic Pilot "Flies" Table to Teach Aviation Students

Item

A table top instead of an airplane is “flown " by an automatic pilot at Curtiss-Wright Technical Institute to aid advanced students in learning operation, maintenance and repair of airplanes equipped with the instrument. The complete automatic-pilot equipment is mounted on a specially made table with a suspended top. When one corner of the table, representing the wing of an airplane, is pushed down to throw it off balance, the automatic pilot brings it back to normal “flying” position in exactly the same way it would level a plane in the air.
