11.4.67 Artist concept of lunar landing training vehicle This is an artist concept of the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle (LLTV) to be built under contract by Bell Aerosystems Co. Buffalo, N.Y. for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to provide three vehicles which the astronauts will use to practice simulated landings on the moon. The vehicles will be capable of simulating the one-sixth gravity environment of the moon. When in use the LLTV is flown off the ground on its jet engine, then maneuvered like a moon craft with small rockets. The LLTV is a modified version of a research and development vehicle, the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle, which has been test flown at NASA Flight Research Centre, Edwards, California
