NASA Paresev, Dryden history gallery
Summary
E-7914 Test pilot Milton Thompson sitting in NASA Flight Research Center-built Paresev 1 Paraglider Research Vehicle on the taxi strip in front of the NASA Flight Research Center in 1962. In this photo the control stick can be seen coming from overhead and hanging in front of the pilot. The control system was a direct link with the wing membrane made of doped Irish linen. By maintaining simplicity during construction, it was possible to make control and configuration changes overnight and, in many instances, in minutes.January 17, 1962 NASA Photo / Read Paresev Project Description
