MRMS HMT Hydro Experiment
The Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) Hydrometeorology Testbed - Hydro (hereafter denoted as HMT-Hydro) experiment is a part of the United States Weather Research Program (USWRP) through the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) that runs from 25 June to 20 July 2018. During the HMT-Hydro experiment, forecasters and hydrologists from the National Weather Service (NWS) will work with National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) research scientists to assess new technology and techniques to improve the prediction and warning of flash flooding. In particular, NWS participants will evaluate new probabilistic hydrologic modeling concepts and output within the Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrographs (FLASH) system that could help convey the uncertainty of the flash flood threat. NWS participants will also evaluate high resolution precipitation forecasts from the NSSL Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) project and the addition of these forecasts into the FLASH system. Feedback from participants will allow NSSL research scientists to identify how these precipitation forecasts could influence the warning decision making process, including the potential for increased warning lead time. The HMT-Hydro experiment runs in conjunction with the Flash Flood and Intense Rainfall (FFaIR) experiment at the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) to collaborate on the short-term forecasting of flash flooding for both a national and regional scale.

Boeing Model 100; c/n 1143, N872H
This Boeing Model 100 was one of four built as commercial/export versions of the Navy F4B-1. It was used by P&W as an engine testbed and later by Milo Burcham and Paul Mantz as a stunt plane. Rebuilt to flying condition by Lew Wallick, O.W. Tosch and Bob Mucklestone in 1977. Now on display in the Museum of Flight.

During the HMT-Hydro experiment, forecasters and hydrologists from the National Weather Service (NWS) will work with National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) research scientists to explore new technology and techniques to improve the prediction and warning of flash flooding. In particular, NWS participants will evaluate new probabilistic hydrologic modeling concepts and output within the Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrographs (FLASH) system that could help convey the uncertainty of the flash flood threat.

Feedback from participants will allow NSSL research scientists to identify how these high spatio-temporal resolution precipitation forecasts could influence the warning decision making process, including the potential for increased warning lead time. Evaluations of the various probabilistic data sets will provide further understanding on the usability and effectiveness of these products, as well as guide future efforts of the Forecasting A Continuum of Environmental Threats (FACETs) project for flooding hazards.

NASA uses a retired TUI (Thomson) color airframe for test bed aircraft N757ET, B752, B757-222 as it is on final for One-Six McClellan. Eco Demonstrator is currently based at McClellan air field, Sacramento, Ca.
Airfix Lancaster converted to a Lincoln and modified to represent Armstrong-Siddeley Python testbed RF403
When I saw a picture of Elecro-Motive's lates testbed / demonstrator SD70ACe #4223, I just had to draw it.
Amazing to see a 787 in a museum already! Line number 2 N787EX was used as a testbed and demonstrator for launch customer ANA. Withdrawn from use in 2012 it is now on display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson.
How to measure and correct micrometers within milliseconds was showed to us on this test installation for CLIC (Compact Linear Collider).
A mechanical engineer told us many things about the testbed for CLIC and the advanced materials and measurements they do for this CLIC.
But what is CLIC? - I will tell you this tomorrow.
The Trent 1000 is the launch engine for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The engine's flight test programme is currently being performed on the Rolls-Royce flying testbed aircraft, a Boeing 747.

iCub è un robot androide costruito dall'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) di Genova. Alto 104 cm e pesante 22 kg, la sua estetica e funzionalità ricordano quelle di un bambino di circa tre anni.
-----------------------
iCub is a 1 metre high humanoid robot testbed for research into human cognition and artificial intelligence.
It was designed by the RobotCub Consortium of several European universities and built by Italian Institute of Technology, and is now supported by other projects such as ITALK.[1] The robot is open-source, with the hardware design, software and documentation all released under the GPL license. The name is a partial acronym, cub standing for Cognitive Universal Body. Initial funding for the project was €8.5 million from Unit E5 – Cognitive Systems and Robotics – of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme, and this ran for sixtyfive months from 1 September 2004 until 31 January 2010.

Testbed lashup of the new 4-drive NAS array. FreeNAS doesn't seem to let you grow an existing array with new drives so I'm just going to create a new NAS using this test PC and then transfer the drives and the new machine image to the NAS box.
This'll be a 6TB RAID-Z array.

Project: Tiny TIM (Threats-In-Motion)
Location: NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed / National Weather Center (Norman, OK)
Date: Feb 28, 2023
Photographer: James Murnan / NOAA NSSL
This experiment brings together NWS forecasters and researchers to evaluate and provide feedback on the concept of allowing warnings to be extended in time and area, a first step towards Threats-In-Motion (TIM) for severe weather warnings for hail, wind, and tornadoes. To facilitate this evaluation, forecasters use Hazard Services Convective to create and manage TIM warnings. The concept and software is tested on several archived cases.

This is actually the first ever factory turbocharged Porsche 911. Originally a mere 911S, the car served as a testbed, receiving numerous performance additions, including a large spoiler and wide wheel arches, among others. The car was later converted to RSR spec by the factory.
