A test pilot flies a one-of-a-kind Ryan Navion equipped with Simplified Vehicle Operations (SVO) controls, which enable the aircraft to take on the flying characteristics of a future UAM vehicle. The controls platform, known as EZ-FLY, allows Flight Level Engineering to research how untrained pilots would perform with simplified controls in an effort to reduce training time.
