Armstrong Flight Research Center Expands Fleet to Support Aeronautics Research
NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, has expanded its fleet with the addition of multiple aircraft, including two F-15 supersonic jets, a Pilatus PC-12 utility plane, and a T-34 turboprop trainer. These aircraft will support the center's ongoing aeronautics research and science missions. The Armstrong Center plays a vital role in airborne science missions, collecting data on air pollution, glacier-melt trends, and wildland fire mapping. The center's history includes a wide range of aircraft, from large shuttle-carrier planes to high-speed fighter jets. The facility is located on Rogers Dry Lake, a significant site for aviation research and test operations.
