[edit]DescriptionNASA's B-52H 61-0025 on the ramp at the Dryden Flight Research Center (EC03-0258-19).jpg |
English: NASA obtained a B-52H bomber from the U.S. Air Force in 2001, intending to use the aircraft as an air-launch and testbed aircraft to support NASA, Air Force and industry flight research and advanced technology demonstration efforts at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards AFB, Calif.
The B-52H replaced Dryden's famous B-52B "008" following that aircraft's retirement on Dec. 17, 2004. However, with no research projects requiring its capabilities on the horizon under NASA's restructured aeronautics research programs, the decision was made to return the aircraft to the Air Force. |

NASA's new B-52H is seen here on the ramp at the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California.<p>NASA Dryden received the "H" model B-52 Stratofortress aircraft on July 30, 2001. The B-52H will be used as an air-launch aircraft supporting NASA's flight research and advanced technology demonstration efforts. <p> Dryden received the B-52H from the U.S. Air Force's (USAF) 23rd Bomb Squadron, 5th Bombardment Wing (Air Combat Command), located at Minot AFB, N.D. A USAF crew flew the aircraft to Dryden. <p> The aircraft, USAF tail number 61-0025, will be loaned initially, then later transferred from the USAF to NASA. <p> The newly arrived B-52H is slated to replace Dryden's famous B-52B "008." Modifications are needed for the B-52H to be ready for flight research duties. This includes PDM, construction of the new pylon, installation of the flight research instrumentation equipment, and aircraft envelope clearance flights.
