Sit in a cockpit and try to pilot a plane in a virtual-reality exhibition in the Aviation Pavilion at the World Expo 2010, sponsored by The China Aviation Industry Corporation and China Eastern Airlines.

The aviation giants yesterday opened a Website where visitors can reserve a chance to be a virtual pilot: www.airexpo2010.com.

The two state-owned enterprises spent 280 million yuan (US$41 million) for the 4,000-square-meter Aviation Pavilion.

The pavilion, shaped like a huge white cloud, will try to give visitors the feeling of "flying in the sky."
