NASA Created Flight Simulator - could you handle it?
 
For the very real flight experience

Just watching it spin makes me feel like 10 on the barf scale ;)
Are airline pilots resistant to motion-sickness?

Interesting model of a next generation fighter at the end there... Guess someone forgot to put the toys back in the box before filming took place

Well, they're supposed to be at least moderately healthy, so I dare say they can survive the stroll across the airbridge to their jet. :}

Well the black one is just the wind-tunnel model of the Boeing-NASA blended-wing-body (BWB - a.k.a. X-48A/B/C) - been around a few years. (Sorry the source has to be the DM ;) ): Boeing tests 'blended wing' plane that could take to the skies in 10 years | Daily Mail Online

I think the silver/white canard jet just before that is a mockup of the NASA/Lockheed LBFD (low-boom (supersonic) flight demonstrator): https://www.popularmechanics.com/fli...ckheed-martin/

NASA movie, NASA prototypes. Neither looks especially capable of a fighter mission, although I guess a full-sized BWB might make a cargo hauler.
