      There are a number of ways that I can test a fighter jet, these include:
      – Analysis (reviewing evidence, computer modelling etc to determine results)
      – Piloted Flight Simulation (using a real pilot in a flight simulator set up specifically to test certain conditions)
      – Flight Test (using specially trained pilots in real aircraft to do specific tasks, recording results from the pilot and special instruments which are attached to the aircraft).
