BEAVER — Heading into a new dimension, fraught with uncertainty, one huge question loomed for Dr. David Byers as he led research into a high-tech “virtual tower,” one driven not by human hands but computers.
And that question was, “Is this going to work, or are we just kidding ourselves?”
Deep into an experiment aided by an influx of air traffic — commercial and military — that all meshed with the Boy Scouts Jamboree, Byers of Quadrex Aviation from Melbourne, Fla., was pleased Thursday with his findings.
“It works,” the senior development professional declared, after a lecture aided by graphs and illustrations on a large monitor in the airport’s office.
“I’m very happy with the way this has turned out.”
