To confirm theory that semiprone position of pilot is feasible, system was tested in Armstrong Whitworth Gloster "Meteor 8" fighter; arrangement of prone pilot's cockpit illustrated; test flying by Institute of Aviation Medicine shows that unusual attitude does not prejudice pilot's control of aircraft; it is concluded that piloting in semiprone position is feasible, with possible need for aids to vision such as periscopes.
