MAGIC CARPET for Supers Analagous to Delta Flight Path for F-35C (& others)

Feet Wet 17 Nov 2014 Amy Butler Fort Worth and Guy Norris aboard the USS Nimitz
"...This flight control system mode, called Delta Path, is unique to the F-35 though it is nearly identical in functionality to the Magic Carpet system recently flight tested by F/A-18E/F pilots, says Eric Van Camp, director of domestic F-35 business development for Lockheed Martin. "The way we used to do it was this choreography between your right and left hand. Delta Path and Magic Carpet eliminate that." Magic Carpet is due to be tested at sea on the Super Hornet in early 2015...."

Best to view the 'Magic' HOOK14 videos in order shown but YMMV
