As a test pilot and engineer, Armstrong flew a modified Douglas F5D fighter jet – now on display at the Neil Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta – on a series of flights to develop launch abort procedures that were to be used for the winged X-20 spacecraft. Armstrong's quiet engineering demeanor was perhaps best demonstrated after a flight in the Lunar Lander Training Vehicle (LLTV). Upon docking with the Agena, an unmanned target vehicle, the Gemini spacecraft and Agena began spinning.

A test pilot is an aircraft pilot with additional training to fly and evaluate experimental, newly produced and modified aircraft with specific manoeuvres known as flight test techniques.
