NF-15B, (71-0290), (N837NA), National Aeronautic and Space Administration, Armstrong Research Flight Center, California, Edwards
Dryden, later Armstrong Research Flight Center, acquired the NF-015B, a two-seat jet fighter that had undergone significant modifications including the addition of canards and a pair of thrust-vectoring nozzles. Dryden engineers used the aircraft as a test bed for research on Intelligent Flight Control systems, Lift and Nozzle Change Effects on tail Shock, and Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles. The NF-15B was retired in 2009. (Text from a sign at the site.)
