Raytheon has modified a Beech Bonanza F33C as a testbed for NASA's Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments programme. The aircraft features two flat-panel primary flight displays presenting "highway in the sky" guidance symbology; a real-time graphical weather display; digital datalink; and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast. Fly by wire decoupled flight controls will be fitted later this year, enabling the pilot to enter turn, climb and speed commands instead of physically moving the flight controls.
