Lunar Landing Research Vehicle
The Bell Aerosystems Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) was an Apollo Project era program to build a simulator for the Moon landings. The LLRVs humorously referred to as flying bedsteads were used by the FRC now known as the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base California to study and analyze piloting techniques needed to fly and land the Apollo Lunar Module in the moon's low gravity environment.

The Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (LLRV) was designed by Bell
Aerospace as a free-flight simulator to investigate piloting and
operational problems involved in lunar landing approach and takeoff.6
