PASSENGER MODE


As was discussed in an earlier page, the cockpit layout has two pilots side–by–side, with a glass cockpit and what will look like large screen TVs in the place of windows in front and on the sides of the pilots. The crew operates the VentureStar spaceliner remotely, from takeoff to wheels–stop, just like the way the military operates un–crewed (drone) aircraft.

The is a major difference, however. When the VentureStar is carrying passengers, the exact same cockpit is placed inside our passenger module. The pilots fly the spacecraft remotely – like a drone – from inside the spacecraft!
