I bet this experiment had an interesting ethics board review.
A research project conducted by John W. Andrews of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory involved 24 general aviation pilots flying a Beech Bonanza on a VFR cross country. The pilots were not aware that their aircraft would be intercepted several times by a Cessna 421 flying a near-collision course.
As the full article notes, the physiology of see-and-avoid at jet speeds is sobering.
