N804NA Flown 37 times by NASA's Flight Research Center at Edwards. First flight 12-22-1966, final flight 7-17-1970. Maximum speed and altitude records held by the HL-10: Mach 1.86 (1228 MPH) and 90.300 feet. The HL-10 was part of a program that investigated blunt-shaped vehicles, called lifting bodies, which led to the selection of a lifting entry configuration for the Space Shuttle. Results from the lifting body flights greatly aided shuttle designers in the decision to land the orbiter as an unpowered glider. |

810 / 141353 F-8 Supercritical Wing Aircraft. This research aircraft was the first airplane to demonstrate the transonic performance capabilities of a supercritical wing. This airplane demonstrated a drag-rise Mach number of 0.96 at cruise lifting conditions. The resulting technology base permitted an increase in cruise Mach number for transport aircraft from approximately 0.8 to above 0.9. Wings of this type are now routinely utilized on all new military and commercial transport aircraft. [Text by Nasa] |

802 / 145546 F-8 Digital Fly-By-Wire Aircraft. This research aircraft was the first airplane to fly using a digital fly-by-wire electronic flight-control system with no mechanical backup system. The initial system utilized components from the Apollo spacecraft guidance and control system. Digital fly-by-wire flight-control systems are now being incorporated into the designs of the most modern commercial transport airplanes, and are routinely used on nearly all new military aircraft. First flight: May 25, 1972. |

N820NA (cn 183-1078) Originally designed as a light-weight day interceptor, the XF-104 made its first flight at EDW on 7 February 1954. The maiden flight of the prototype YF-104A ws completed here on 17 February 1956. Delivered in 1958 to USAF and later returned to Lockheed for flight test support. It was transferred to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Facility at EDW in 1966. On loan from the USAF Museum. |
