We have come a long way since the beginning of flight so who are the Top 8 USAF Test Pilots in Aviation History. We have had inventions that would simply baffle the mind to contraptions that made no sense at all yet it has been the inventors, scientists and engineers that kept getting back on the horse and finding new and interesting ways to improve flying machines since their inception.
These Infernal Flying Machines!
Strapped to a hurtling metal piece of machinery going Mach 2 with your hair on fire? How about doing this while controlling an aircraft that has never been flown by a human before? Uncertainty at every corner with engineering and auronautics never before tested until the pedal hits the metal and then get thrown around like a carton of eggs in blender powered by a tornado! Know this is like? The men known as test pilots do and several of the top pilots ever to strap themselves into a untested combat designed aircraft seen below do!
Spiraling Out Of Control Is Their Job!
