Summary

XV-3 in Ames Reseach Center 40x80ft wind tunnel; Rotor dynamic stability tests

The X-planes are a series of experimental United States aircraft and rockets, used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. They have an X designator, which indicates the research mission within the US system of aircraft designations. The first, the Bell X-1, became well known in 1947 after it became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Most of the X-planes have been operated by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) or, later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), often in conjunction with the United States Air Force. The majority of X-plane testing has occurred at Edwards Air Force Base. Some of the X-planes have been well publicized, while others have been developed in secrecy. Most X-planes are not expected to go into full-scale production.

Spaceward Bound event in the Mojave Deser , CA (an outreach exercise) with Dr Chris McKay and Ames Education department personnel Brian Day, Barbara Bazar and a accompaning (learning for the the classroom) team of teachers will be studying side-by-side with NASA scientists who search for life in extreme environments, closely approximating what they expect to find on other planets. Why the Mojave -- an inhospitable, sun-drenched spot in the California Desert? This natural setting presents scientists with opportunities to study environments that are analogous to what explorers will find on the Moon and Mars. Teachers and scientists will perform scientific fieldwork in lunar geology, Mars astrobiology, Mars geology, and issues of temperature and solar inundation and radiation. for additional information and Outreach projects see http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/ ARC-2007-ACD07-0056-085

A US Navy (USN) Naval Construction Battalion Seabee, with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), uses a Tractor, Rubber-tired, Articulated steering, Multi-purpose (TRAM) vehicle (multipurpose bucket) to push a large piece of concrete into the river to start working on a bridge that they are reconstructing in Lutafiyah (Babil Province), Iraq, which was severely damaged from repeated attacks by anti-Coalition insurgent militants. The 24th MEU is in conducting Security and Stability Operations (SASO) in Babil Province during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM
