The Dryden C-140 JetStar during testing of advanced propfan designs. Dryden conducted flight research in 1981-1982 on several designs. The technology was developed under the direction of the Lewis Research Center (today the Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH) under the Advanced Turboprop Program. Under that program, Langley Research Center in Virginia oversaw work on accoustics and noise reduction. These efforts were intended to develop a high-speed and fuel-efficient turboprop system.

Technicians inspect the sub-scale X-48B Blended Wing Body concept demonstrator in the full-scale wind tunnel at NASA's Langley Research Center. Researchers at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., are testing the a 21-foot wingspan 8.5 percent scale prototype of a blended wing body aircraft in Langley's historic full-scale wind tunnel. Boeing Phantom Works has partnered with NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory to study the structural, aerodynamic and operational advantages of the advanced aircraft concept, a cross between a conventional plane and a flying wing design. The Air Force has designated the prototype the X-48B based on its interest in the design's potential as a multi-role, long-range, high-capacity military transport aircraft. A second X-48B blended-wing body prototype is due to arrive at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in May, and after installation of test instrumentation and extensive checkout, begin flight tests later this year.

NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center marked its 60th anniversary as the aerospace agency's lead center for atmospheric flight research and operations in 2006. In connection with that milestone, hundreds of the center's staff and retirees gathered in nearby Lancaster, Calif., in November 2006 to reflect on the center's challenges and celebrate its accomplishments over its six decades of advancing the state-of-the-art in aerospace technology. The center had its beginning in 1946 when a few engineers from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics' Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory were detailed to Muroc Army Air Base (now Edwards Air Force Base) in Southern California's high desert to support the joint Army Air Force / NACA / Bell Aircraft XS-1 research airplane program. Since that inauspicious beginning, the center has been at the forefront of many of the advances in aerospace technology by validating advanced concepts through actual in-flight research and testing. Dryden is uniquely situated to take advantage of the excellent year-round flying weather, remote area, and visibility to test some of the nation?s most exciting aerospace vehicles. Today, NASA Dryden is NASA's premier flight research and test organization, continuing to push the envelope in the validation of high-risk aerospace technology and space exploration concepts, and in conducting airborne environmental and space science missions in the 21st century.

Attached to the same B-52B mothership that once launched X-15 research aircraft in the 1960s, NASA's third X-43A performed a captive carry evaluation flight from Edwards Air Force Base, California on September 27, 2004. The X-43 remained mated to the B-52 throughout this mission, intended to check its readiness for launch scheduled later in the fall.

The late 1940s saw increased flight activity, and more women computers were needed at the NACA Muroc Flight Test Unit than the ones who had originally arrived in 1946. A call went out to the NACA Langley, Lewis, and Ames laboratories for more women computers. Pictured in this photograph with the Snowman are some of the women computers who responded to the call for help in 1948 along with Roxanah, Emily, Dorothy, who were already here. Standing left to right: Mary (Tut) Hedgepeth, from Langley, Lilly Ann Bajus, Lewis, Roxanah Yancey, Emily Stephens, Jane Collons (Procurement), Leona Corbett (Personnel), Angel Dunn, Langley.

Joel Sitz is the project manager of the X-43 experimental aircraft [ http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/X-43A/index.html ] at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, a position he has held since July 1998. Sitz is responsible for the overall flight research element of the Hyper-X Program, managed by the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va. The X-43A vehicle will feature the first free flight of an airframe-integrated, hypersonic Supersonic Combustion RamJet (SCRAMJET) engine. Before assuming his present assignment, Sitz was deputy program manager at Dryden for NASA?s Aviation Safety Program from 1997 to 1998. He was also the project manager of the F-18 Systems Research Aircraft (SRA) and the L-1011 Adaptive Performance Optimization (APO) Project. His responsibilities included the development and flight evaluation of several advanced aircraft sensors and systems technologies that will be used to improve both the safety and performance of future military and commercial transport aircraft. Previous to joining NASA in 1989 as an aerospace engineer, Sitz was employed by Honeywell Military Avionics Division. At NASA he became a software systems engineer on the X-29 Forward Swept Wing Project, responsible for real-time flight control software design, development and test. At Dryden, Sitz has developed and performed research in advanced automated test tools to support flight control system validation for flight research projects including the X-29, F-18 High Angle of Attack and X-31 flight research programs. He was the deputy project manager for the F-16XL #2 Supersonic Laminar Flow Control Project. He was also the project manager responsible for transfer of Dryden business system operations from NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala., when Dryden became an independent NASA center in 1994. As a member of Dryden?s Procedures and Policies Committee from 1990 to 1997, Sitz was responsible for updating Dryden?s Basic Operations Manual. Sitz graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1982 with a bachelor of science degree in computer science. He received a master of science degree in engineering management in 1989 from Golden Gate University of San Francisco, Calif.
