The Dryden Flight Research Center, located at Edwards, California,
is NASA's primary installation for flight research. Projects
at Dryden over the past 50 years have lead to major advancements in the design
and capabilities of many civilian and military aircraft.
The history of the Dryden Flight Research
Center is the story of modern flight research in this country. Since the pioneering
days after World War II, when a small, intensely dedicated band of pilots,
engineers, and technicians dared to challenge the "sound barrier" in the X-1,
Dryden has been on the leading edge in aeronautics and, more recently, in space
technology. The newest, the fastest, the highest - all have made their debut in
the vast, clear desert skies over Dryden.
We hope that your visit to our web site will be an enjoyable one and that you
will gain a better understanding of the vital role that the Dryden Flight Research
Center plays in maintaining America's leadership in aeronautics and space technology.
