Solo pilot's task is made easier through convenient display of landing and navigation data. Use of display shows promise as more efficient means of presenting sequential instructions and data, such as course heading, altitude, and radio frequency, to minimize pilot's workload during solo instrument flight.

Jet blast effect of twin variable cant rocket nozzles on visibility during landing on particle covered surface
A limited investigation has been conducted to determine the jet-blast effect of twin variable-cant supersonic nozzles. These tests were made to examine the result of using canted main rocket engines to sweep the blast debris outward from the proposed landing area of a rocket-powered vehicle making a vertical approach to a touchdown. Cant angles from 0 degrees to 75 degrees, at intervals of 15 degrees, were tested at low ambient pressure and at atmospheric ambient pressure. Nozzle chamber pressures used were 400 psi and 2000 psi.
