“X-62 VISTA DECLARED 2023- 2024 AVIATION WEEK LAUREATE AWARD WINNER- https://laureates.aviationweek.com/…/2024-winners.html The future of autonomy has been moving swiftly over the desert sky. Congratulations to the USAF Test Pilot School.”

“Calspan and Lockheed Martin collaborated to transform the U.S. Air Force’s F-16D Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft (VISTA) into the X-62 and enabled the first testing of synthetic artificial-intelligence pilots in a supersonic aircraft. This has provided the template for work on developing autonomy for the Air Force’s planned Collaborative Combat Aircraft family.” – Edwards Air Force Base February 21 2024
