Unmanned Vehicle Systems Experiences at the Dryden Flight Research Facility

An overview is presented of the remotely piloted research vehicle (RPRV) activities at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Facility from their beginning to the present. The development of RPRV's as flight test tools is discussed, and system configuration is presented. Solutions derived from human factors experience related to flight activities and pilot responses have contributed to overall system capability. The development and use of visual displays, which are a critical feature of successful RPRV flights, are discussed as well as directions for future RPRV efforts.

YF-12 Experiments Symposium, Volume 1

This document is a compilation of papers presented at the YF-12 Experiments Symposium held at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, September 13-15, 1978. Papers were presented by personnel from the Dryden Flight Research Center, the Lewis Research Center, and the Ames Research Center. Topics covered propulsion system performance, inlet time varying distortion, structures, aircraft controls, propulsion controls, and aerodynamics. The reports were based on analytical studies, laboratory experiments, wind tunnel tests, and extensive flight research with two YF - 12 airplanes.
