NASA completes high-speed taxi test of laminar-flow wing scale model

NASA researchers at Armstrong completed a high-speed taxi test of a scale model of a wing design meant to improve airflow and cut fuel use. On Jan. 12 the Crossflow Attenuated Natural Laminar Flow (CATNLF) test article reached about 144 mph, marking its first major milestone. The 3-foot-tall model resembles

NASA adds two retired F-15s to Armstrong fleet for supersonic tests

Two retired U.S. Air Force F-15 jets have joined the flight research fleet at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, to support supersonic flight research for NASA’s Flight Demonstrations and Capabilities project, including testing for the Quesst mission’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft. One

NASA Armstrong builds new subscale aircraft to expand flight research options

NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, is building a new subscale aircraft to support increasingly complex flight research and provide a more flexible, cost-effective alternative to crewed missions. The aircraft is being built by Justin Hall, chief pilot at NASA Armstrong’s Dale Reed Subscale Flight Research
