About NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center
NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's teams design, integrate, maintain and test modified or unique research aircraft and complex developmental systems. The center combines engineering facilities with access to flight-test airspace and varied terrain in the western Mojave Desert. Its aeronautics portfolio includes the X-59 quiet-supersonic research effort, alongside airborne science and aerospace-technology work. Armstrong is a directly operated NASA field center, rather than an aircraft manufacturer selling a commercial product line. Its experiments and test programs have different development schedules; a research association does not imply operational military deployment.
