Rockwell HiMAT The Rockwell RPRV - 870 HiMAT ( Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Technology ) was a NASA - program to develop technologies for future fighter aircraft . Among the technologies explored were close - coupled canards , fully digital flight control ( including propulsion ) , composite materials ( graphite and fiberglass ) , Remotely Piloted Aircraft , Synthetic vision , winglet etc . The winning design was produced by Rockwell International . Design and development . The HiMAT were actually remotely piloted aircraft , as the design team decided that it would be cheaper and safer to not have a pilot on board who could be killed in the event of a crash . This also meant that no ejection seat would have to be fitted . According to a report by Sarrafian in 1984 , the aircraft was flown by a pilot in a remote cockpit , and control signals up - linked from the flight controls in the remote cockpit on the ground to the aircraft , and aircraft telemetry downlinked to the remote cockpit displays . The remote cockpit could be configured with either nose camera video or with a 3D synthetic vision display called a " visual display " . First flight was in 1979 and testing was completed in 1983 . Aircraft on display . The two HiMAT aircraft are now on display , one at the National Air and Space Museum and the other at the Dryden Flight Research Center .
