The first instrumented training system takes flight.
Transportation
Return to the Timeline of innovation.
Over-the-horizon radar
Seeing thousands of miles beyond the horizon for advances in detection, tracking and mapping.
Airline reservation system
From 1962 to 1964, SRI led development of a real-time communications system for the Scandinavian Airline System (SAS) to process passenger reservations and check-in.
Steel super alloys
Super-strong alloys can handle the heat.
Railroad hydra-cushion
A softer ride on the rails dramatically reduces damage to freight shipments.
Electrostatic discharge rods
Innovative rods help protect aircraft from potentially dangerous levels of static electricity.
All-magnetic logic computer
Virtually indestructible computer circuitry.
Software implemented fault tolerance
Develop a redundant flight control system that Langley would approve. We made that fly.
