NASA TOUTS ITS RESEARCH TOOLS AT LONG BEACH AEROSPACE TESTING EXPO
Supersonic research aircraft and legendary wind tunnels are the exotic
tools being promoted by NASA engineers and pilots at Aerospace
Testing Expo 2005 this week at the Long Beach, Calif., Convention
Center.
The exposition gave NASA the opportunity to talk about its aeronautics
research capabilities to several thousand key players in the global
aerospace industry. Visitors lined up at the NASA Dryden Flight
Research Center booth to try their hand at piloting a jet flight
simulator. Dryden, located on Edwards Air Force Base in California's
Mojave Desert, has the capability to make simulations for a wide
variety of aircraft.
Joining the Ames crew at Expo 2005 are engineers from NASA's Glenn
Research Center near Cleveland, Ohio. Glenn brings a particular kind
of wind tunnel expertise to the aerospace community, specializing in
tests of engines and powerplant systems in tunnels built for that
purpose. Glenn's research test facilities website is
